Join us for the third edition of Europe in the Park — a vibrant, open-air celebration of European culture, cuisine, and creativity in the heart of San Francisco!
Following last year’s success, we’re going bigger and brighter in 2026 — with more performances, more food, more activities, and our first-ever beer garden.
Gather your friends and family and come visit us at Italy’s booth, presented in collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy and Maestrale Centro Lingua Italiana, the Italian language school affiliated with us!
