About this event
Seattle's 39th Annual Festa Italiana takes over Seattle Center at 305 Harrison Street September 26 and 27 with free admission, Italian food vendors, wine and beer gardens, bocce, grape stomp, and live bands. Saturday runs 10 AM to 7 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 6 PM, with the Italian car show Saturday only. Pizza, pasta, sausage, gelato, and cannoli stands sit beside the Armory and Fisher Pavilion cooking stage, so snack lines stay busy between chef demos and evening sets. Operators near Harrison Street and the Seattle Center campus see the heaviest food and garden traffic Saturday afternoon into evening, then a calmer Sunday family crowd before the 6 PM raffle draw.
Vendor Tip
If you plan to vend at this event, make sure your Seattle permits are current. Many events require proof of valid health permits, insurance, and city vendor licenses before you can set up.
