Festa Italiana di Santa Rosa

Festa Italiana is back in Santa Rosa! Co-sponsors North Bay Italian Cultural Foundation (NBICF) and D’Argenzio Winery are hosting the Festa on October 20th from 2 pm – 7 pm in Vintners Square at the D’Argenzio Winery at 1301 Cleveland Ave, Santa Rosa.

This Italian cultural feast will feature more music, more vendors, more food, and more family fun than ever! Admission and parking are free.

Savor Italian food, biscotti, gelato, wine and espresso. Cibo Rustico Pizzera will be open with some of its signature dishes, and glasses of wine and wine tastings will be poured in the D'Argenzio tasting room.

Walk along the path to find some Italian art, pottery, jewelry, handmade cutting boards, and more.

Bring your dancing shoes! You won't be able to sit still as you listen to the NBICF’s Coro Allegro, Sonamó Band, accordionist/singer Steve Albini and Italian folksinger Michela Musolino.

Have fun at the Family Corner with Italian-themed arts and crafts, face-painting, music, coloring books, stories, and bocce ball.

Peruse the Silent Auction and bid on some treasures. A portion of the proceeds will fund NBICF’s scholarship program for Italian study here and in Italy.

Learn about the past at the History of Italians in Santa Rosa Display.

Not only is October Italian Heritage Month, but we will also celebrate some big anniversaries: 40 years for the North Bay Italian Cultural Foundation; 30 years for D'Argenzio Winery; and 10 years for Cibo Rustico Pizzeria. Congratulations for keeping the Italian culture alive in Santa Rosa!
