Father’s Day Italian Picnic

In Italy, picnics are a cherished tradition, especially during harvest times. Families and neighbours gather together to share bread, wine, olives, cheese, and sausages brought by everyone.

Join us this Father’s Day to create your own picnic tradition! Enjoy the experience of sharing a meal outdoors while listening to Italian music and taking turns playing lawn games.

Looking for picnic food inspiration? Order a special picnic box curated by Di Rienzo’s.

Alternatively, grab takeout from any restaurant in Little Italy. Or bring your own homemade food and non-alcoholic beverages.

Don’t forget to bring your lawn chairs and blankets!

Although this is a free event, registration is required to attend due to the capacity limit.

Thanks to our event sponsor BBS Construction.
