Mayor Flor Nicolas and Italy’s Consul General Sergio Strozzi will address the crowd to highlight the day’s events. Attendees may choose to participate in a Bocce Ball Tournament (prior sign-ups are required) and children will love the Festa’s Family Fun Kid’s Zone with face painting, story reading and much more. Kids may also participate in the SSF Youth Soccer Goal Challenge.
