An enchanted evening of Italian food, music & amore 
For one unforgettable evening, the spirit of Italy is coming home to Gulfport.
On Saturday, October 24, the Maria Center will be transformed into an Italian-inspired escape for the Gulfport Senior Foundation’s Night in Italy.
From the rich flavors of Italy to the music filling the room, every detail will transport you to an enchanting European evening without ever leaving the community we call home.
Enjoy authentic Italian cuisine from local favorites Pia’s, Mazarro’s and Tommy’s Hideaway, then take to the dance floor with Hot Tonic’s live six-piece orchestra.
Show off your moves in our couples dance-off for a chance to win fun prizes, or try the wine ring toss to win classic Italian bottles to take home.
Dinner and a complimentary drink ticket are included with every ticket 
Gather your friends, reserve a table and experience la dolce vita right here in Gulfport.
