Montclair, New Jersey, will be celebrating Italian Heritage Sister City Day on Saturday, October 5 at the Montclair Public Library, 50 South Fullerton Street, starting at 10am.

In January, 2017, Aquilonia, a town in the province of Avellino, Campania in southern Italy, became a Sister City to Montclair.
