This year’s event will also feature a live auction and raffle prizes like a trip to Italy, a cash jackpot, and more.
Little Italy’s biggest party, Ferragosto, returns for its next big bash, “Wild Western: Little Italy’s Biggest Party Goes Denim and Diamonds,” on Saturday, August 19 from 6 p.m. to midnight with a VIP reception starting at 5 p.m. Guests are invited to Little Italy’s Amici Park for an evening that calls for attendees to dress-up in their best western gear and enjoy an interactive experience with wild western themed entertainment, a Western style BBQ, casino games, a rodeo, live music and more.
San Diego’s Little Italy Ferragosto is its own take on the traditional Italian holiday “Feriae Augsti.” Ferragosto | Wild Western will transform Amici Park into a Western Village featuring hotels, convenience stores and more, casino games like poker and roulette, a saloon with whiskey tastings, western music and entertainment, the Kumeyaay Indian Tribe and more. This year’s event will also feature a live auction and raffle prizes like a trip to Italy, a cash jackpot, and more. The last few events have transformed Little Italy’s Amici Park into Pompeii, Venice, the Roman Coliseum and even a scene from the Roaring 20s. The fifth annual event will include hors d’oeuvres, main dishes, drinks, cocktails and desserts from San Diego’s finest restaurants.
Ferragosto is a fundraiser that supports the Washington Elementary School Foundation, Our Lady of the Rosary Church and the Little Italy Association. More information about the event and tickets can be found at www.ferragostosd.org.
