The 5th Annual Galbani Maryland Italian Festival will be headlined by Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated artist Frank Stallone.
You may have heard of his older brother, Sylvester, who also has acting credit or two to his name, but Frank Stallone is renowned in his own right for his dynamic voice and versatile talent. He has charmed audiences worldwide performing rock, blues, big band, and more. He has three Platinum Albums, 10 Gold Albums, five Gold Singles, and appeared in the films “Tombstone” and “Barfly.”
The festival is set to return to the Harford County Equestrian Center in Bel Air from Sept. 27 – 29, 2024. It is presented by Jarrettsville Furniture and produced by the Society of Italian American Businessmen (SIAB), a Maryland-based charitable organization that supports 501c3 organizations focusing on education family, child services, mental health, and addiction.
“The Galbani Maryland Italian Festival is a showcase of the rich Italian culture that we hold dear. This year’s lineup, featuring the legendary Frank Stallone and a host of talented performers and chefs, offers something for everyone,” said Elio Scaccio, co-founder of SIAB and chair of the festival. “It’s an honor to be part of a festival that not only celebrates our heritage but also supports charitable causes in our community. We invite you to join us for a weekend of unforgettable experiences that highlight the best of Italy, right here in Maryland.”
