SAN JOSE, CA- On Saturday, August 31 the San Jose Giants bring Italian culture and cuisine to Municipal Stadium for the 6th Annual Italian Night, presented by Sons of Sicily Aiuto Foundation. The entire night will be a celebration of Italian culture with raffles, Italian music and food, vendor booths and giveaways. The evening will feature special Italian food booths including everything from spaghetti to dessert items like sfingis (Italian doughnuts) and cannolis. In addition, the first 1,000 fans to the game will receive Italian themed San Jose Giants hats courtesy of Country Club Villa Apartments and Battaglia Ranch Tree Farm.

"Italian Night is one of our most highly anticipated events of the entire season." said Juliana Paoli, Chief Marketing Officer of the San Jose Giants. "This is a great opportunity for fans to come to the park and enjoy not only great baseball, but also experience a taste of Italy and its culture."

As part of the festivities the Giants will be wearing special Italian themed jerseys and hats as they take on the Inland Empire 66ers at 5:00 PM. The on field fitted hats will be available for purchase in the San Jose Giants Dugout Store; while the jerseys will be part of an in-game silent auction where the highest bidder will be able to go on the field following the game and receive their new autographed jersey right off the respective San Jose Giant's back. The proceeds will benefit the Sons of Sicily Aiuto Foundation.

"We are very excited to once again partner with the San Jose Giants in bringing Italian Night to Municipal Stadium," said Marlo Cortese, General Manager of Country Club Villa Properties. "The great food and giveaways amongst other cultural activities make certain for a memorable and successful night of San Jose Giants Baseball."

Tickets are still available for the sixth annual Italian Night and Saturday, August 31 game versus the Inland Empire 66ers. For tickets, visit the Municipal Stadium Box Office, call (408) 297-1435 or go to sjgiants.com.
