WORCESTER, Mass. - The annual Italian Festival returned to Worcester this weekend.

The event is put together by Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Our Lady of Loreto Parish.

It showcases various aspects of Italian culture like food and music.

"A lot of the Italian people come by, many come every night actually that live in the neighborhood," organizer Elaine Beaudry said. "And it brings a lot of people that we haven't seen in a long time into the festival."

The four-day festival was held Aug. 15-18.
