October is Italian History Month, which will bring a smattering of Italian events to the Bay Area before and after the Parade — all with differing amounts of salami, gelato, and royal presence.
In 1869, just eight years after Italy’s unification, the La Società Italiana di Mutua Beneficenza, founded in 1858 by a wealthy member of the local Italian colony for community support, hosted San Francisco’s First “Columbus Day” Parade — the inaugural occasion of the annual San Francisco Italian Heritage Parade, the nation’s longest running Parade of the sort.
— Italy in SanFran October 2, 2022In 2018, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s day, but the Parade to commemorate Italian Heritage has continued, though with less nominal recognition of the Italian explorer. After organization of the Parade had changed hands a few times, the jubilee was incorporated as a non-profit in 1942 and a board of directors was established.
