Wall Street, between Main and Spokane Falls Blvd, will be closed for a large celebration of Italian culture and Italian contributions to Spokane and the Pacific Northwest. Free and open to the public, they will be releasing a new beer named “Sister Cities Kellerbier “, co-made between craft beer producers WhistlePunk Brewery in Spokane and Birrificio del Catria in Cantiano/Cagli, Italy. Brewers in both countries created a recipe that is now being completed for the celebration with a possible Zoom during the Festa. The Festa is in its second year and has as its theme, The Four Fs of Italian Culture: Food, Fashion, Film, and Fun! The Festa will feature the singing server, Italian crooner Adriano Ferrante, and a dance group performing the Tarantella.
