Now that the 2026 Roma Lodge Italian Festival has come to a close, we want to recognize the many volunteers who made the weekend possible.

From months of planning and preparation to cooking, setup, serving, ticket booths, entertainment support, grounds work, cleanup, and countless other responsibilities, every contribution played an important part in the success of our 47th festival.

Thank you to the Roma Lodge and Vittoria Colonna members, families, friends, and community volunteers who generously gave their time and energy. This festival simply would not exist without your dedication.

You are not behind the scenes—you are the scene. Grazie!
