CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - The 9th Annual St. Anthony Festa Italiana kicked off on Sunday in hopes to raise enough money for a handicap accessible van.

The festival is from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Queen's University.

The activities at the festival include a silent auction, children's activities, and samples of Italian dishes.

The money raised is going to Nevins Center for a handicap accessible van. Nevins Center has trained disabled people for the work place for the past 50 years.

WBTV's own Kristen Miranda and Ashley Batey will be at the event.
