San Castellaneta Festival
The San Castellaneta Festival is an Italian American-themed festival on Mulberry Street in Springfield held on the feast day of Ignatius Castellaneta.
History
The Simpson family went to the San Castellaneta Festival. During the festival, Homer ran around the food stalls eating. Shortly after he finished, Jason Momoa came on stage and told the story of Ignatius Castellaneta, who the festival was named after. He explained that it was because of the story that they ate spumoni at the festival.
After Momoa finished, a statue of Jesus Christ came out, which people were supposed to stick money onto. However, a pickpocket had been around and taken everyone's wallets.
