### Join us in Commemorating our 15 Year Anniversario

Since 2010, Italian Day’s revival on Commercial Drive, home to Vancouver’s historic Little Italy, has been shaping a new chapter of Italo-Canadian history with Italian Day on The Drive, one of the city’s largest and most popular street festivals.
Weaved with annual themes, the festival brings the community closer to the unique aspects of Italian culture, heritage, and the ‘la dolce vita’ lifestyle, with this year celebrating our 15 Year Anniversario together with the Mille Baci theme.
Within the Italian culture, a kiss [un bacio] or kisses [baci] represent an inherent element in the warm exchange of daily greetings. This includes written or verbal messages, as in Mille Baci, literally meaning a thousand kisses, yet figuratively embodying a limitless quality; and ultimately conveying a magnified expression of love and respect. Sentiments filling our hearts, as we prepare for our 15 Year Anniversario, a milestone celebration in the Italian Day storia, where community is famiglia, and the very reason we have come this far.
