Columbus Day Festival--Oct 12

Residents on "The Hill," St. Louis' famous Italian neighborhood, celebrate their rich history on October 12 with the annual Columbus Day Parade and Festival. The parade starts at Southwest Bank (at Southwest and Kingshighway) and everyone is invited to line the route and watch the floats, cars and bands go by. Then head over to Berra Park for an afternoon of food, music and fun. I can't find any times for this festival, but my best guess is that everything will be starting around noon or 1pm. In true Italian style, it may just start when it gets started. :)
