The 92nd annual Festa Italia is coming to downtown Monterey tomorrow, bringing a taste of Italy to the central coast all weekend.

The festival is bringing Italian culture to the peninsula with authentic Italian cuisine, live music, dancing, and a family-friendly atmosphere for all ages.

New this year are cherry, watermelon, and lemon Italian ice, along with a new Italian dessert court.

There’s also a bocce tournament on Saturday and Sunday at the Custom House Plaza in Monterey State Historic Park. 

The Festa Italia will run from Sept. 5 to 7. For more information, visit the Festa Italia Monterey website.
