The 92nd Annual Festa Italia returns to downtown Monterey this weekend, celebrating Italian culture and honoring the city’s fishing community with food, music, and traditions that date back more than nine decades. The free festival runs Friday through Sunday at Custom House Plaza in Monterey State Historic Park.

The Festa Italia Foundation, a nonprofit that organizes the annual event, said this year’s festival will include traditional Italian dishes such as calamari, steak and sausage sandwiches, pasta, arancini, and cannoli. Returning favorites include the eggplant parmesan sandwich, added last year, along with fried shrimp. A variety of beverages, including wine, beer, sodas and water, will also be available.
