annual FERRAGOSTO FAMILY PICNIC
CANCELLED DUE TO POOR AIR QUALITY
PLEASE WATCH FOR REFUNDS FOR NON-MEMBERS
You’re Invited! 🇮🇹☀️
Join us for the Kelowna Canadian Italian Club's Annual Ferragosto Family Picnic — a beloved tradition dating all the way back to the founding of the first KCIC!
This year the KCIC will be relocating Ferragosto to the Kelowna Bocce Club (2340 Aberdeen Street).
As many of you know, this past March the KCIC Bocce Lanes at the Parkinson Recreation Center were demolished to make room for the NEW Parkinson Recreation Center. Many wonderful memories were made over the 45+ years at that location. We will continue forward in hopes that one day we will have our own lanes once again. Please make yourself familiar with the NEW location and be sure to give yourself ample time to park and walk to the facility.
Thank you to Rob McAllister for facilitating our move to the Kelowna Bocce Club for our 2026 Ferragosto Picnic.

SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR 2024 CELEBRATION!
|
Ferragosto is a national holiday in Italy, and it is celebrated on August 15. It's a time to celebrate the middle of the Italian summer and mark the unofficial start to Italy's summer holiday season. KCIC is excited to bring this OUTDOOR celebration to its members so that families can enjoy some quality time together.
And, in what has become an annual tradition, we proved that you can eat pasta with both hands behind your back at our Pasta Eating Contest. Congratulations to all the winners. It was a perfect day to picnic under the pergola at the bocce lanes. Thanks to all who joined us. And we'll do it all again next year. See you then! |
