The annual Ferragosto Festival kicks off on Sunday and Arthur Avenue businesses expect thousands of people to flood the Bronx's Little Italy.

The Bronx has been the home of the Ferragosto Festival for over 25 years. The day-long event celebrates Italian culture, with authentic food, live music, and entertainment.

Hosted by the Belmont Bid, organizers say this festival is an opportunity to highlight decades old small businesses.

News 12 will be at the festival to get a closer look at all the celebration.
