Let’s join in and celebrate the 38th Annual Festa Italiana at the Seattle Center!

We will not be participating in the Grape Stomp this year giving us more time to enjoy the many activities.

The annual event started in 1988, and has celebrated the cultural roots of Italians and Italian-Americans in the Pacific Northwest by promoting the arts, the food and the culture that are uniquely Italian.

Every hour throughout the day, between 12 noon and 3:30 pm, a different chef is featured “live” on the La Cucina Galbani® Cooking Stage, located on the Fisher Terrace — the rooftop of the Fisher Pavilion.

Because of the Italian tradition of enjoying wine and beer with food, this year, there will be two Wine & Beer Gardens at the Italian Festival.

We will plan to ride the Light Rail to Westlake and walk to the Seattle Center. The walking distance is approximately .65 miles. Or choose to ride the Monorail from Westlake to the Seattle Center ... $2.00 one way ... you can use your ORCA card.

Bring: Orca Card for the Light Rail & Monorail, water, snack

Specific details will be emailed to those who sign-up
