Italian Day on The Drive

Sunday June 9th was a celebration of Italian Culture on Commercial drive. Walking up to Napier from my car, I couldn't believe the amount of people! It was my first time attending this event and I thought it would be comparable to Greek days, which has a couple blocks of people, but Vancouver having such a large Italian population had Commercial Drive blocked off from Broadway all the way to Venables.

It was packed, tons of Kiosks set up seling raffle tickets, candied apples and lemonade.

A couple of outdoor beer gardens as well as all the restaurants creating a patio section right out on the street. Falconetti's had a nice rooftop patio that would have been a nice view of the crowd.

Along with many traditional italian dishes being sold there was also bubble tea and hotdog stands.

It was a nice hot day,  Tara and I treated ourselves to a nice Gelato. Tiramisu and Chocolate mixed together, so delicious, exactly what I needed on a day like that.

One of my favorite parts of the event were the performers. Italian performances on the main stage singing a sog from the sound of music, her voice was beautiful

Car show !
