Le Donne d'Italia has cordially invited Sicilian Sisterhood to join them in the San Francisco Italian Heritage Parade on Sunday, October 13, 2024.  

The Le Donne d'Italia float will celebrate Italian/Sicilian Fishermen, many of our ancestors who immigrated to the Bay Area as commercial fishermen.  Le Donne's float will be designed as a fishing pier with two golf cars decorated as fishing boats. Everyone will dress in costumes and dance the Tarantella!

Please RSVP to Cristina Holloway by August 10, 2024.
