Please install Flash® and turn on Javascript. The Festa Italiana is a fund-raiser hosted by the Frontenac Education Foundation. The funds are used to provide scholarships for every graduate of Frontenac High School that attends a post-secondary school. Also, due to the great success of the project, some money is also being used for equipment and Grants in Frontenac schools.
The Festa Italiana is held at the Raider Sports Complex once each fall. The 2009 celebration was held on September 19th. Festa provides a great opportunity for people to celebrate their heritage and show what made southeast Kansas what it is today. Many cooks and major vendors help out each year by providing food, prizes and live music for all. The different foods include traditional Italian, Mediterranean, French, Mexican, American Greek, Slovenian, Italian-Cajun, Bohemian and German dishes. Some new events to treat the public included a silent auction and bingo. Nearly 3,000 people attend Festa yearly as the Foundation sets a money raising goal. The previous year's Festa raised nearly $ 70,000 at Mike Falletti Field at the Raider Sports Complex. Activities included more food samples than ever, Kids Zone where the varsity athletes worked with the kids and did face-painting, football toss and sand art, Mario's Market which featured a silent auction, and a live auction. To date, the Foundation has raised over $ 550,000. Schedule of Events 2009
