Welcome to the 6th Annual Sorrento Italian Heritage Festival Bocce Tournament sponsored by Lorigo’s Meating Place.

This year our tournament is dedicated to the memory of Nino Trillizio, one of our original Bocce players. Nino played on the team Cardoon Buffoons with team members Len Sciolino, Joe Fiorella, Bob Scoppechio and Tony Domino. Nino’s good sportsmanship, dedication and love for the game will be missed by all. Once again, we will have 16 teams competing for the title of Tournament Champion.

This year the tournament will be played on Saturday, July 17th and Sunday, July 18th.

If you would like to sign up for a team, you may contact Tracey at the North Buffalo Community Center, 716-874-6133 ext. 17 or you can get an application with the link just above.

There is a $25.00 entrance fee per team. Teams will be chosen on a first come first serve basis, and teams will be matched at random.

Your team must be able to play any time on Saturday, July 17th and Sunday, July 18th. Our scheduled play times are from 11:00am to 7:00pm. Once your team is confirmed, you will be sent the rules and regulations regarding the game. We encourage all Bocce enthusiasts young and old to participate. Have fun cheering on your favorite team, or learning rules and strategies at this exciting event.
