Cheese lovers, rejoice! The Great Crucolo Parade returns to Rockridge Market Hall on Saturday, September 28, 2024, from noon to 3 PM. This family-friendly event celebrates Crucolo, a creamy Italian cheese from the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Experience the excitement as Market Hall Foods' cheesemongers, dressed in traditional Italian attire, roll a massive Crucolo cheese wheel down Shafter Avenue to the lively tunes of accordion music. The parade kicks off at noon, culminating in a ceremonial cheese cutting with free samples for everyone! Last year, they sold half the wheel—this year, they aim to sell the entire thing, so don’t miss your chance to grab a piece!

Enjoy additional Italian treats like Rustichella d'Abruzzo pasta, prosciutto, Italian wines, Torta della Nonna, and more. Come for the cheese, stay for the celebration
