Festa Italiana 9/29-30

The Italian Car display is coming up at Festa Italiana at the Seattle Center. For details, see http://festaseattle.com/exhibits/vehicle-show/. Registration closes on 9/27.

Registration is required and this year, there is a $10 fee to register a car. Motorcycles and scooters are still free.

Great event, plenty to do and eat. Reserved parking inside a taped off area, right by the fountain. Enter the grounds from the 2nd Ave N and Thomas St. intersection. Be sure and have your EventBright registration ticket as I presume that they will be checking since there is a fee.

I'll be there with the 308 on Saturday and probably Sunday too. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

I asked/complained about the $10 registration fee when I registered this year.

Here is the response:
Dear Car Owners,

Thank you for registering your vehicle for the 31st Annual Italian Festival at Seattle Center. Several of you have questioned why we levied a $10 registration fee this year and the answer is simply that last year we took in over 40 free registrations - so many that we cut off registration
and turned several cars away. Unfortunately, fewer than half of them actually showed up,
so as a test we put a nominal price on registering this year. If you would like to be reimbursed for that, please ask Michael Troiani when you arrive on the grounds
and we'll give you back $10 or a ticket for a glass of wine whichever you prefer!

Also, please remember that there are a couple "Walks" for charity this year so all vehicles must be parked by 10 AM each day. Thank you for your help in this matter.
