Aug 11 2022, 5:23 pm

A huge celebration of Italian culture, heritage, and community returns to East Vancouver this month in a new village-style setting.

Italian Day in Grandview Park will bring pizza, pasta, and partygoers together again on Sunday, August 28 from 12 to 9 pm.

The mini version of the beloved cultural street festival will feature everything that longtime attendees will enjoy, including live performances, all-ages activities, vendors, and of course, delicious food!

Commercial Drive will not be closed down to traffic as in previous years. Instead, traffic closures will only occur on the side streets around Grandview Park to create space for vendors, activities, and attendees.

Bring the family to enjoy live music and cultural performances, a kid’s area with crafts, fashion, and contests to enter.

Italian Day in Granview Park will also feature food vendors and trucks as well as an Il Giardino – food, wine, and beer court. Bring your appetite to enjoy fresh cannoli, hot slices of pizza, and more being served up all day.
