Holiday Little Italy

Holiday Little Italy

Saturday, December 7th, 12 - 1pm

Sunday, December 8th, 1-2pm

The holiday season is a great time to showcase the history and charm of Little Italy! By the late 1890s, many Italian immigrants had settled in the Mayfield-Murray Hill area. By 1911, it was estimated that 96% of the inhabitants were Italian-born, with another 2% having Italian parents. Holiday traditions have been passed down through the generations, and many are still celebrated by Italian-American families today. On the tour, you’ll learn about the neighborhood’s holiday history and Italian traditions, and folklore. And if you’ve been good, La Befana may have something special for you!

At check-in, you’ll receive a thank you Take a Hike insulated tumbler!  Hot chocolate will be provided so fill your new tumbler to bring along on the tour. 

Arrive 15-30 minutes before the start of the tour to allow yourself time to enjoy the Italian American Museum, check-in and get refreshment.

This tour is outside, rain or shine, so dress for the weather. 

Tickets are non-refundable.  Proceeds from the holiday tours support Take a Hike summer program.
