June is Italian Heritage Month and the City of Vaughan is hosting its first ever Festa d’Italia – a celebration of Italian culture and heritage!

It’s happening on Sunday, June 1 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Boyd Conservation Park (8739 Islington Ave.). This FREE fun-filled day will include music, entertainment, performances, and so much more. Food will be available on site from various vendors, obviously for a charge.

Tony Monaco from Z103.5 Radio and Giuseppe the MC will emcee the event.

Entertainment and festivities will include performances by:

  • I Cugini di Campagna at 12:45 and 7 p.m.
  • a performance by Joee De Simone
  • a tribute to Andrea Bocelli
  • food vendors
  • music by DJ Danny D, Mario Polsinelli and Bruno Monardo
  • traditional Italian dances
  • various local Italian artists and more.

Gathering Location:

Our group will be uniting with some of our friends from "La Dolce Vita Italian Dinner & Social Group" at the event.
Mirella, Organizer of the group, has a personal function and unfortunately won't be able to attend. We've agreed to have our members join together, and I'll oversee the event.

  • We will be gathering at 12 noon where the performance by
    "I Cugini di Campagna" is taking place.
  • We anticipate gathering as a group from roughly 12 noon to 4pm , during this time members and or subgroups may break away and re-connect with the core group depending on interests and events taking place
  • Unless we decide otherwise, the focal point to gather will be around the performance stage.
  • Once on site, we'll decide where to settle in at.
  • Feel free to make suggestions
  • At any point, should there be a need ( ie getting lost in the crowd), you can contact me at 647-292-4849 (Pete)
