The San Francisco Italian Heritage Parade is proud to announce its return to the streets of San Francisco on Sunday, October 10, 2021. The Italian Heritage Parade will be the first major parade to take place in the city since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and will once again coincide with San Francisco Fleet Week.

Graziano Cerchiai, owner of SF’s famous Bimbo’s 365 Club, will be honored as parade Grand Marshal in recognition of the club’s 90th anniversary. Recognized by San Francisco Heritage as one of the city’s 100 Legacy Bars and Restaurants, Bimbo’s on Columbus Avenue is still run by Graziano and his sons Michael and Gino. The club’s allure of sophisticated decor invokes nights of dinner theater, dance palaces, and black-tie dress codes.
