Little Italy Days Bloomfield Neighborhood, Pittsburgh PA

Saturday afternoon I went to Little Italy Days in Bloomfield with my friend V and this evening I went over with Steve.

The street was blocked off and it was quite festive.  Can’t put up the aromas of the various food items.

  1. Looks like a good time to me, Ruth. We have an Italian Days going on this weekend, too but I don’t think I’ll be able to get to get there. I’ve got cannoli in the fridge and will just have to make do. 🙂

  2. It looks like quite the celebration! I love the evening/night shots – the people seem to “pop” from the background/surroundings. Very cool.

  3. So many people LOVE to attend these outdoor Fairs, especially on a pretty Fall day and evening. Here in Indiana and I live close to Louisville, there are about 4 or 5 outdoor Fall fests that everybody loves! I try to go to all of them but sometimes because of inclement weather, I won’t attempt to get caught in pop-up rain showers or high winds. One of the things I enjoy most is watching the people! They never cease to amaze me! Ruth, you got some wonderful pictures of people at this Italian Fest!

  4. My friend and her aunt and I went Friday evening. There was much more on Sat. It really is a homey place to visit. You took some very good pictures. On the first picture of Maria, she is a friend of my friend’s aunt. They go on trips which Maria has. How about those cookies? They were huge.
