POPULAR BULGARINI GELATO CART 

AT TASTE OF ARCADIA SEPT. 28

Plus first-ever “Big Shot” selfie camera on 

Red Carpet Experience for e-mail and print-outs!

The wildly popular Bulgarini Gelato will be 
making its debut at Taste of Arcadia, as will a 
new giant “Big Shot” selfie camera on the Red 
Carpet Experience.

 This year’s traditional outdoor event produced 
by the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce is being 
held from 5:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. Monday evening at 
the beautiful Los Angeles County Arboretum 
at 301 N. Baldwin Avenue in Arcadia, made 
possible by returning Gold sponsors Westfield 
Santa Anita, Methodist Hospital, and BMW of 
Monrovia.

 The popular Bulgarini Gelato cart is coming 
fresh off an appearance by popular demand 
earlier this month at The Taste in Los Angeles 
sponsored by The Los Angeles Times.

 Owner Leo Bulgarini’s popular selections 
include yogurt gelato with sea salt and drizzled 
with olive oil, hazelnut gelato with gavi, goat’s 
milk gelato with toasted cocoa nibs and pinot 
noir, nectarine sorbet with trebbiano malvasio, 
kona coffee gelato and stout beer, gelato he 
makes with the ultra-pricey Bronte pistachios 
he picks himself from trees in Sicily, and many 
more.

 The Rome-born Bulagarini who has set 
up a base of operations in Altadena says 
that once you taste his gelato, you will 
never eat ice cream again. Although he 
follows the teachings of traditional Italian 
gelato-making from his uncle, he says his 
recipes and process are so unique that 
you won’t even find his gelato in Rome. 
The Big Shot camera sponsored by Arcadia 
Performing Arts Foundation allows attendees 
to pose several feet away from the camera on 
the Red Carpet Experience (with optional 
exotically-costumed Brazilian dancers) and 
take their own photos that show up on a video 
screen. After choosing their favorites on a touch-
screen tablet, they may make printed copies on 
the spot and also e-mail copies to themselves. 
Bulgarini and The Big Shot are just two of 
many firsts at Taste this year in addition to 
valet parking for only $7, the colorful Yoobi 
bus, a giant 33-foot inflatable screen, three 
live performers simultaneously, new models of 
Tesla and Cadillac cars, and much more. 

 Advance tickets $65 ($55 for Arcadia 
Chamber of Commerce members; $80 at 
gate; or VIP reserved table of 10 for $750 – 
Chamber members $599) under “Shop” at 
www.ArcadiaCaChamber.org, by calling 626-
447-2159, or in person at the Chamber office at 
388 W. Huntington Drive, Arcadia, 91007.

 About 1,500 people are expected to attend 
what City officials refer to as the “signature 
event of Arcadia,” From 5:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. on 
a Monday evening attendees enjoy tastes of 
everything from 40 of the best local restaurants 
for no additional charge, 40 community 
organization and Business Showcase booths, 
and plenty of entertainment, including a 
Monday Night Football lounge.
