Fourth annual Italian Expo, Sept. 17-19, Navy Pier

Take a tour of Italy and experience “La Dolce Vita” without event leaving the country at Chicago’s fourth annual Italian Expo during the weekend of September 17-19 at Navy Pier’s Festival Hall A.

Food, wine, fashion, design, tourism, art and entertainment are showcased as the cultures of Italy and Chicago collide at Italian Expo. Over 100 companies and vendors from Italy and the U.S. will be present displaying and selling their products straight from Italy for three days only. We welcome all to enjoy this family-friendly event by tasting delicious Italian cuisine, viewing fashion runway shows of apparel and fine jewelry, and discovering luxury cars, motorbikes, and travel and tourism information from various regions in Italy.

Italian Expo is held annually in Chicago and Houston and is organized by the Italian American Chambers of Commerce located in those cities.
