The annual Festa Italia drew big crowds to Lancaster city centre for a weekend 'Gran Finale' of music, food, drink and Ferraris!
The event celebrating Italian culture began on May 18 and came to a triumphant finale on Sunday with live music in Market Square, Italian food and drink stalls including pasta making demonstrations, street entertainers, and a traditional display of Italian super cars and motorbikes.
Performers included Frank Sinatra tribute artist Stevie Kay, four tenor group Voce, soprano Leigh Rhianon Coggins and The Dance Hub dance school.
For the first time this year, there was also a free concert in Market Square on Saturday night.
Festa Italia is organised by Totally Local Lancaster.
The festival began in 2018 and was the brainchild of city centre businessmen Bruno Buccelli and Paul Cusimano.
They wanted to "bring something different to Lancaster" bringing together Italian food and drink, vehicles, music and fashion.
