Festa Italiana Locals can celebrate and experience the many cultural facets of Italy during the second annual Festa Italiana, an afternoon street fair in downtown Spokane. Hosted by the Spokane-Cagli Sister City Society and Spokane’s American-Italian Club, this year’s event theme is the “Four Fs of Italian Culture: Food, Fashion, Film and Fun!” Among many activities planned is the release of a special collaborative beer, the Sister Cities Kellerbier, made by Spokane’s Whistle Punk Brewing and Birrificio del Catria near Cagli, Italy. There’s also a pasta eating contest (which speaks for itself) plus a classic Italian car show, music by Italian singer Adriano Ferrante and a dance group performing the tarantella, a traditional Italian folk dance. A beer garden, food trucks, games and more round out the afternoon.
