An article about the event appeared in the Nashville Banner newspaper on October 8, 1956, citing: "Pizza, pepperoni and puppets abounded Saturday afternoon and evening as the gates of the second annual Italian Street Fair swung open at the corner of Natchez Trace and West End Ave, (Nashville, TN). All the color and charm of the boot country were transported to the Nashville scene as gaily costumed workers for the Nashville Symphony Association hawked everything from succulent spaghetti to baby bootees midst a scene made gay by folk dances, strolling street singers, and contests galore designed to catch the eye of toddlers, teenster et al. The Fair, which launched Symphony Week…..was sponsored by the Nashville Symphony Guild for the benefit of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra."
