Grape stomping. A Roman encampment. Food and wine booths. And a children’s fun zone. The Italian Family Festa, now in its 41st year, returns to History Park in San Jose this weekend with live entertainment, culinary demos, arts and crafts vendors, and a new Italia Cultural and Culinary Pavilion. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, with an evening street dance, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, with an Anthony Nino Band finale.

Admission is free. Highlights will include a “living history” re-enactment of a Roman encampment and demos of Italian swordsmanship both days; grape stomping contests Saturday; and shows by the Fratello Marionettes and Satvik the Magician. The pavilion stage will host pizza tossing and recipe demos and talks on Italian heritage.
