Amador County – The 131st Annual Italian Picnic and Parade is set for Friday, Saturday and Sunday June 1,2 and 3 at the Italian Picnic Grounds on Sutter Hill, Sutter Creek. 

Lisa Klosowski, director of the Sutter Creek Visitor Center gave a notice of the coming events. She said “this event will send you back 100 years in time, to a simpler, less stressful life where old fashioned fun is what it is about.”

Klosowski said since 1882, the Italian Benevolent Society has hosted its Italian Picnic and Parade on the first Sunday in June down Old State Highway 49. The picnic includes an All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti and Chicken Feed Saturday night.

A carnival, live band, dancing, and Bocce Ball for a buck. Friday night is kids’ night and Saturday is a 6 p.m. Italian dinner. The Italian Picnic Parade begins 10:30 a.m. Sunday, June 3 in Sutter Creek, an old fashioned, huge parade. A Bocce Tournament is Sunday afternoon.
