Galbani® Italian Heritage Festival Day 2

A new Italian festival is coming to the Valley. The Galbani®​​ Italian Heritage Festival, organized by the well-being nonprofit Bliss Planet, will take place at Heritage Square Downtown Phoenix on Saturday, March 1 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 2 from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and will celebrate Italian culture through food, merchandise, exotic motor vehicles, cooking demonstrations and live entertainment.

There will be two stages with live entertainment and cultural performances throughout the two-day event. One stage will highlight live entertainment from musicians and bands, and the second, La Cucina Galbani® Cooking Stage, will be a food demonstration stage where top chefs around the Valley will display how they make their fan-favorite Italian dishes. Street dancers will also perform, including dances from the Sicilian-style folk group Tradizione Vivente.

The festival will present a unique car and go-fast motorcycle showcase, displaying classic motor vehicles from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Vespa and Ducati. A 1913 Bugatti, the oldest-running Bugatti vehicle in the world, will also be featured.
General admission tickets are $10 and children 13 or younger can attend the festival for free. The event also offers a VIP ticket package priced at $145, that will give attendees access to an exclusive VIP lounge near the main stage with premium seating, complimentary alcoholic drinks and gourmet food samplings curated by top local chefs.

Guests also have a chance to participate in a raffle to win a seven-day all-inclusive tour in Tuscany for two people and delight in wine tastings, authentic cooking classes and other Italian excursions. One raffle entry is $5 and can be bought in bulk for up to $100.
The Italian Heritage Festival wants to thank its sponsors Andiamo Italia, Corso Italia, Bella Bello, Sogno Toscano, Downtown Phoenix Inc., Renewal By Anderson, Phoenix Sister City Catania, DYPER and its title sponsor, Galbani®​​, for making this event possible.
