Artown Encore Series and the Eldorado are teaming up to present a beloved Old-World tradition with the Zoppé Family Circus. Under an intimate 500 seat tent, this one-ring circus will captivate guests with acrobatic feats, equestrian showmanship, canine capers, clowning and plenty of audience participation.

A crowd favorite year after year continues to be the Great Italian Festival Sauce Cook-off. Italian families from across the West Coast bring their recipes to life right on the street for guests to taste. Pasta tasting plates will be sold for $2 at the spaghetti booth on the corner of 4th and Virginia streets starting at 2 p.m. daily.

The Eldorado’s Famous Italian Dinner Buffet will be served in the Eldorado Convention Center on Saturday and in The Buffet on Saturday and Sunday starting at 4 p.m. Guests can enjoy an array of Italian specialties including handmade pasta dishes, Cioppino, eggplant parmesan, veal scaloppini as well as an assortment of home made Italian salads and desserts.
