We are super excited to announce that we are bringing the music to a big stage in Piazza Italia – a larger scale concert event – and you are invited!

A day-long music festival, the concert event will feature 4 powerhouse show bands, comprised of top local artists with performances in Italian and English.

 

Presented by: The Italian Day Festival Society in collaboration with the Commercial Drive Business Society

Where: Piazza Italia – Pop-Up Plaza @ 1700 Grant St.

When: Sunday, August 22, 2021

Time: 12pm – 9pm

Capacity for the event will run at about 150 people at all times and will be based on controlled entry with FREE ticket(s) available to claim. Attendees have the choice of attending one or more of the slotted performances, and can even claim entry for ALL shows by claiming a FREE ticket for each performance. Note that LATE arrival into selected performance may not guarantee entry if Piazza is at capacity, as we will be allowing entrance to standby attendees at the start of all respective performances. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to performance(s) to ensure entry.

It will be an alcohol-free zone but guests may bring in food and non-alcoholic beverages while enjoying shows and atmosphere. Sopra Sotto restaurant, adjacent to Piazza Italia, will be offering their delicious menu items – and even a place to relax with an alcoholic beverage in between sets. Let’s also not forget all that The Drive offers with bars, restaurants, specialty stores and shops if spending the day and wanting to venture off to discover more.

LIVE. Love. AMA on The Drive!
