Because of the Italian tradition of marrying wine and beer with food, there will be three Wine & Beer Gardens at the Italian Festival, all sponsored by our wonderful providers. One will be in the Fisher Pavilion with a nice view of the Mainstage, one will be on the Fisher Roof in the "Piazza Food Court," and the third will be in the Fisher Pavilion Courtyard featuring strolling musicians playing your Italian favorites in the sunshine. Look for the colorful umbrellas and the white picket fences.
