Italian-Americans will celebrate their heritage

With a slice of pizza and a glass of wine, tuxedo-clad Italian-Americans will celebrate their heritage in the annual St. Joseph Day parade.

Created by Italian-America Joseph Cardenia and friends in 1970, the Italian-American Marching Club has become one of the largest ethnic organizations in the southeastern United States.

On Saturday, March 14, the parade will start at 6 p.m. at the intersection of Convention Center Blvd. and Girod Street.
