Vero Beach Italian American Club Lists March 8 Pasta Festival, Community Celebration

The Italian American Civic Association in Vero Beach is staging its annual Italian Food Festival over three days, listed on the club’s event page as March 6, 3 to 9 p.m.; March 7, 11 to 9 p.m.; and March 8, 11 to 6 p.m., at 1600 25th Street, Vero Beach, FL 32960. The event card on the site highlights Sunday with a header that reads, “March 8 @ 11:00 am - 6:00 pm” and the page invites the public to “Come and enjoy our authentic Italian fare, music by great local artists, and have fun!”

Admission to the festival is free at the gate: the club website states, “There is no entry fee, just pay for what you eat and drink.” The site lists a focused Sunday entertainment lineup under “Featured entertainment on Sunday”: “11 to 1 Joe Sapienza,” “2 to 5 FunFest,” and “5 to 6 Close with Jason Patzer, DJ.” The event page also carries the banner text, “Vero comes together at the annual Italian Food Festival!”

For neighbors thinking beyond a single visit, the club’s membership form appears on the same site with a headline, “BECOME A MEMBER,” and the invitation, “You don’t have to be Italian to join … you just must love Italian food.” Membership benefits are spelled out verbatim: “Members enjoy fine food, music, bar privileges, parties, and special events throughout the year with reduced ticket pricing.” Dues are listed as “Dues for the calendar year are $50.00,” and the form notes, “Members coming in on or after October 1st shall pay the annual dues for the next calendar year.”

The membership application flow and online payment instructions are detailed on the JotForm embedded in the club site: “Your completed application along with a receipt for your dues will be presented at the next Board and Members meeting for official approval. You will be invited to attend in order to meet the Board and to be installed.” The page also directs prospective members, “Now you can pay your dues online: Click here to pay your Dues,” and cautions, “Ignore Google Pay icon unless you want to use that service. Enter your card information as usual.” Final submission guidance reads, “Don't forget to click the green Submit button before you leave this page. We will get an immediate email, and so should you. Your email will come from 'Jotform.' Thank you!”
