Share

Get ready for a taste of Italy!

Back and bigger than ever, this Sunday, June 22nd from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Leonardo Da Vinci Centre is hosting Victoria Italian Day for Italian Heritage Month.

 It’ll be jam-packed with family-friendly activities. Guests can expect live music, Italian cuisine, games, display cars, cultural exhibits, vendors and a bike valet!

The music and entertainment will take place on two stages—one indoor and one outdoor. Performances include Michael Mazza and the Mozzarellas, and Angela Burgaretta and her band Jagged Roots. 

Plus, opera singer Steven Price will be performing, and audiences will be treated to Italian classics by local violin virtuoso Julien Vitek.

The available games will include bocce, palo della cuccagna, calcetto, and more. 

Similar to last year, parking is limited, so consider taking advantage of their bike valet or taking a bus. 

Admission is free, just bring yourselves, your curiosity and empty stomachs!
