St. Pete Italian Fest Brings Food, Wine & Exotic Cars to Vinoy Park This Saturday |
Eight hours of Italian culture, cuisine, and entertainment on the waterfront |
 |
The Tampa Bay area doesn't exactly lack for things to do on a Saturday. Between the waterfront, the museums, the restaurants, and the general fact that the weather in May is not yet trying to actively kill you, weekends around here tend to fill themselves. And yet, somehow, somebody looked at all of that and said, 'You know what this region still needs? A full-scale celebration of Italian culture, complete with exotic cars, wine, and an obscene amount of pasta.' Again: correct.
The St. Pete Italian Fest returns on Saturday, May 16, at Vinoy Park (701 Bayshore Dr NE), running from 11 am – 7 pm. Eight hours. Think about that. Eight full hours of Italian everything, right on the waterfront.
What's On The Menu?
The organizers aren't throwing a little get-together. They're staging an event with the energy of someone who just watched The Godfather for the first time and immediately called their friends.
Authentic Italian food from local vendors serving up pasta, pizza, cannoli, and all the classics you crave. Live music and performances by top Italian bands bringing the sounds of Italy to St. Pete. A stunning Italian car show featuring exotic and vintage vehicles that'll make you want to trade in your daily driver.
And let's not forget the wine. Because what's an Italian festival without plenty of vino to go around?
