For 22 years, the Italian Club has celebrated the rich Italian culture and heritage of Tampa Bay through hosting Festa Italiana Weekend. The Italian Club has been blessed to receive such broad community support though out those 22-years that helped make our celebration of Italian culture and traditions in Tampa such a resounding success.

From our humble beginnings in 1998 as what started out as a small gathering with family and friends, Festa has enjoyed significant growth to become one of the region’s most celebrated cultural events that draws thousands of attendees to the Ybor City district. It has been an honor and an extremely rewarding experience to organize a family-friendly event that has been so well embraced and loved by our community. With our ongoing efforts to ensure that the legacy of showcasing Italian culture in Tampa continues into the future, we are excited to announce Festa Italiana events in 2020.

Bocce & Bellinis on Saturday, April 4, 2020 will continue to be a free admission day filled with cultural and fun activities for guests of all ages. Programmed activities at Bocce & Bellinis will include the annual bocce tournament and homemade vino competition, the Italian Club Cucina tent, and a grape stomp. Our popular Winefest of Italy on Sunday, April 7, 2019 will continue to serve as our signature daytime wine festival featuring over 100 wines.

With the Italian Club recently commemorating its 100-year anniversary, Festa Italiana looks forward to you and your loved ones joining us in April 2020 so that we can continue another 100-years of celebrating Italian culture and heritage in Tampa Bay together.

Festa Italiana is the primary fundraiser for The Italian Club of Tampa.

Over a century ago, The Italian Club (L’Unione Italiana) was founded by a small visionary group who realized that by uniting together, the Italian community of Tampa could overcome many of the social and economic challenges that confronted those “turn-of-the-century” immigrants from Italy. From those visions came the beautiful building known as the Italian Club, which hosts several weddings, corporate functions, non-profit galas, birthdays and celebrations throughout the year all within the Historic Ybor City district of Tampa Bay.
