Vespazitas & Friends is proud to collaborate with the FCA Ottawa Chapter as part of our shared commitment to celebrating Italian heritage in the nation’s capital. Our involvement with the Ferrari Festival began when we sought to bring more out‑of‑town visitors and Italian two‑wheel culture into the event. After initial outreach within the scooter community didn’t move forward, we connected with the Preston Street BIA, who introduced us to Delio. He then connected us with Peppe, who welcomed us onto the Ferrari Festival planning committee.

Since then, the partnership has grown into a meaningful cultural collaboration. For the past three years, we have worked alongside the FCA Ottawa Chapter to integrate Italian scooters into the festival, helping showcase Ottawa as a vibrant, welcoming city with deep cultural roots. Each year, we dedicate significant time and effort to inviting scooter clubs from across Canada, the United States, and abroad — building a reputation for reliability, hospitality, and getting things done.

Together, we continue to strengthen Ottawa’s cultural landscape and celebrate the traditions that connect our communities.
