Festa Italiana

Celebrate Festa Italiana with an incredible lineup from Ethica Wines! Bring your friends and grab a glass of these exceptional selections.

Ciao Festa Family! We are currently at 80% full for our volunteer slots. There are 100’s of positions filled but the following are super important for us to also fill.

Festa is this week, and while we have an AMAZING crew lined up, we have a few highly specific, incredibly crucial gaps to fill. If you’ve ever wanted to be the hero who saves the gelato, slings the sausage, or guards the gates of paradise (and by paradise, we mean Festa), now is your moment.

Here is where we need you to step up and help us get across the finish line:

The "Pre-Game" (This Week)
Festa Setup: Come flex those muscles and help us transform the grounds before the party starts.

Friday, July 10th
Italian Sausage (Aurora) | 5:00pm – 11:00pm: You will literally smell like victory (and garlic) all weekend. It’s the ultimate aroma-therapy.

Saturday, July 11th (The Big Push)
Main Gate Admissions Cashier | 11:00am – 3:00pm & 7:00pm – 11:00pm: Hold the keys to the kingdom. You’re the smiling face that says, "Welcome to the best day of your summer."

Wheelchair & Stroller Rental | 3:00pm – 7:00pm: Provide the wheels that keep Festa rolling. It’s a vital public service!

Children's Area | 3:30pm – 8:00pm: High energy, high fun. Help the kids have a blast (and burn off their sugar rushes).

Campari Cocktail Lounge (Barback) | 7:00pm – 11:00pm: Keep the bitter-sweet nectar flowing. You’ll be the VIP of the night-owl crowd.

Cultural / Heritage Photo | 7:00pm – 11:00pm: Help people capture memories and celebrate our history.

Festa Raffle | 7:00pm – 11:00pm: Sell dreams! (And tickets. But mostly dreams).

Gelato Booth | 7:00pm – 11:00pm: The coolest job on the grounds. Literally.

Italian Sausage (Main) | 7:00pm – 11:00pm: The dinner rush needs a hero. Be the sausage savior.

Sunday, July 12th (The Grand Finale)

Cultural / Heritage Photo | 4:30pm – 9:00pm: Keep the memories rolling through the final stretch.
