Founded in 1925, Grazia Bonafede Caniglia recreated the Carlentini Santa Lucia Festival in Omaha to help Italian immigrants stay connected to their roots and traditions. Over the years, it has grown into one of Omaha’s favorite cultural festivals filled with incredible food, live music, dancing, and family-friendly fun!
