Friday, September 4th, at 6 pm, our wonderful Italian Parade will make its way down 9th, Vine, & Main Street. The parade route will begin at the Coal Fountain and end at Elm Street – just west of the festival’s main stage on the river. With entries like the famous Gondola with Re & Regina, and our lovely Queen of Grapes. The parade is definitely a must-see and a great kick-off to a crazy weekend of food, music, and wine.​
