Events
Welcome to the vibrant Events page of the Italian American Chamber of Commerce, where tradition meets celebration in a dynamic showcase of Italian culture and community spirit. Throughout the year, our center hosts three signature events that epitomize the essence of our heritage and bring together families, friends, and enthusiasts alike.
First on the roster is the renowned IACCM Golf Outing, a cherished tradition founded 38 years ago by the esteemed duo, John Agosta and Fred Severini. This event not only celebrates the love of the game but also serves a noble purpose, raising funds for our Scholarship Fund, benefiting the children and grandchildren of Chamber members. With each swing of the club, participants contribute to the future success of deserving students, honoring the legacy of John B. Agosta, whose dedication to this cause remains unparalleled.
Next up, we invite you to join us for Festa Italiana, an iconic celebration steeped in history and flavor. Originating around 1970 under the auspices of the Italian American Chamber of Commerce of Michigan, this annual 3-day extravaganza welcomes over 40,000 guests to indulge in the sights, sounds, and tastes of Italy. From sumptuous Italian cuisine to fine wines, beer, and cocktails, Festa Italiana promises an unforgettable culinary journey and a vibrant atmosphere brimming with cultural delights.
And for those seeking excitement and anticipation, our Grand Raffle Gala offers the chance to win big while supporting our center’s mission. With a grand prize of $10,000 and a range of other enticing rewards, this exhilarating event is not to be missed. Amidst gourmet hors d’oeuvres, strolling dinners, and premium libations, guests revel in an evening of opulence and camaraderie, all in the name of fostering community and cultural enrichment.
Join us at the Italian American Chamber of Commerce for these extraordinary events, where every moment is infused with the spirit of Italy and the warmth of shared traditions.
