Rainy skies cleared and blue sky poked through the clouds yesterday afternoon, just in time for Peekskill's third annual Festa Italian to kick off with a procession for Our Lady of the Assumption. 

The festival offers Italian music, rides, games, classic Italian food - pizza, zeppole, rice balls, chicken Parmesan, sausage and peppers, drinks and more.

The ceremony honoring two community members with a Distinguished Italian Citizen award was moved to 12 p.m. Saturday. It was originally scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday but was postponed due to the possibility of rain.
