Wonderful sights, amazing sounds, and delicious smells continue to fill the streets of downtown Youngstown.
 
It's day two of the 25th annual Greater Youngstown Italian Festival!

There's plenty of great ethnic food, rides, games, music and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.
    
Vendors say the festival is attracting huge crowds, making downtown Youngstown the place to be this weekend.

And whether you're Italian or not, the festival still makes you feel like family.

"You make friends here, people come back, they look at you and go 'I remember you from last year!' you know, and you make them smile," said Tom Crooks from Richardson's french fries.  "They walk away, they remember it forever."

The festival continues Saturday night with lots of live music, along with a pasta and sausage eating contest.

It wraps up with the little king and queen contest Sunday.
