BUFFALO, N.Y. — A beautiful day was had for day two of the Galbani Italian Heritage Festival in downtown Buffalo.
The festival celebrates Italian heritage with of course food, music, and more. This is the first time in years that the festival has been back in downtown.
"You know, traditionally, this was a street festival, and that's kind of in our blood. So to take it off the street, it was a little bit different," said Peter LoJacono, the Italian Heritage Festival coordinator.
One popular event was Italian Idol, just like "American Idol." The singing competition received more than 75 submissions. There were 18 finalists and three winners, and one of the judges was Channel 2's Michael Wooten.
The first-place winner was Glenn Hillman, who walked away with $500.
