In The Back Yard at Cotuit Center for the Arts

Kick off summer in the Back Yard with an afternoon of food, fun, and a little friendly competition—Italian-style.

We’re turning our outdoor space into Festuit Italiana!, a lively Italian festival complete with an open-air bar, lawn games, a firepit, and a full lineup of interactive events that invite you to jump in (or just cheer from the sidelines).

Featured events include:

• Spaghetti Eating Contest – equal plates, fastest finisher wins!
• Italian Wine Tasting – arranged by a local vendor.
• Trivia  – test your knowledge, team with the most points wins!
• Cannoli Station – fill up on your favorite Italian dessert.
• Raffle Prizes – win big and support local businesses!

Come for the competition, stay for the atmosphere. Whether you’re competing, sipping, or just soaking it in, the Back Yard is the perfect place to spend an early summer afternoon.

Free admission • Bar open throughout
