Olive Garden Dives Into Summer With Limited-Edition Launch
If you've ever wanted to dive headfirst into a bowl of pasta from Olive Garden, you're in luck- kind of.
The popular Italian restaurant chain has a new limited-edition launch that lets you channel that desire without getting covered in sauce.
Beginning Monday, June 30, at 2 p.m. ET, Olive Garden fans will be able to purchase a limited-edition line of pasta-shaped pool floats designed to mimic some of the chain's most iconic dishes from shop.olivegarden.com.
From the floatin' fettuccine to the takin' it easy tortellini, Olive Garden fans can turn a swimming pool into a giant bowl of their favorite pasta, down to the relaxin' rigatoni.
And in a nod to Olive Garden's soup, salad, and breadsticks, each $40 pool noodle comes with a complimentary "first course" summer item. Customers will get either a breadsticks bucket hat, a "soup-er summer vibes" tote bag, or a "lettuce chill" floating drink holder.
"Olive Garden has always been known for going big - big portions, big value, and never-ending first courses," said Jaime Bunker, Senior Vice President of Marketing, in a statement shared with Parade. "This summer, we're bringing that same spirit of abundance to the pool. Our pasta-inspired floats are a larger-than-life way to celebrate the dishes our guests love, and just like in our restaurants, every order starts with a first course."
Can't wait until June 30? No worries, as a limited amount will be available for Olive Garden's eClub members starting Thursday, June 26 at 10 a.m. ET.

At St. Peter's Fiesta in Gloucester, greasy pole competitors brave fog for a chance at glory
Contestant after contestant ran across the pole — which is greased with lard, fish guts, and oil among other slippery substances. One by one, they all fell, failing their mission to capture a flag planted at the end. That is, until the Advertisement Sunday marked the fifth and final day of St. Peter's Fiesta, a festival honoring Cape Ann's Italian-American fishing heritage. For nearly 100 years, locals and tourists have flooded Gloucester's streets in celebration of the Feast of St. Peter, the patron saint of fisherman, shipbuilders, and sailors. Each evening, revelers gathered for live performances of Italian love songs and covers of Rat Pack crooners. Advertisement Down toward Gloucester's waterfront, street vendors sold treats and children lined up for carnival rides. On Sunday morning, the festivities began with an open-air mass at the flower-strewn altar in St. Peter's Square, followed by a procession. At 3 p.m., spectators gathered for the Blessing of the Fleet, as Catholic clergy offered prayers for the fishing boats bobbing in the harbor. For Gloucester's fishing community, long a Throughout the weekend, crews of 10 rowers, a helmsman, and a coxswain competed in seine boat races, rowing out a half-mile from Pavilion Beach and racing to be the first back to shore. On Sunday, three racing boats — the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria — set off into the fog and returned minutes later, the calls of their coxswains swallowed by the chatter of beach crowds and the low growl of breakers hitting the shoreline. But it was the greasy pole competition, with its odd mystique and can't-look-away sense of danger, that drew the most reaction from the crowd. It is a tradition that creates local Shortly before 5 p.m., a fog bank rolled in from the east, leaving spectators straining to see the pole as it faded in and out of the mist. More than 100 boats floated off of the beach, from inflatable craft with outboard motors, to fishing boats waving American and Italian flags, to kayaks to yachts. As the competition started, the crowd let out a great cheer, and boats let off blasts from their fog horns. Advertisement 'They could be jumping off right now, we wouldn't even know,' said Matthew Vallis, a retiree who lives in Gloucester watching from the beach. The competitors began their journeys, most of which ended in a quick fall. Some plummeted razor straight, others flailed their arms and scissor-kicked. One contestant wobbled out of control, but improbably made it nearly to the flag before falling, the crowd's growing cheer ending in a collective 'aww.' Another slipped and hit the pole hard, drawing a collective grimace of sympathy. Sandy Bartos, 32, was getting food with a friend and their tired, curly-hair dog Luca after spending the day in Rockport when they saw the crowd gathering. After hearing about the competition, they decided to come down to Pavilion Beach and check it out. 'We were told it was the greasy pole contest, and that's tough to beat,' she said. The festival was well-attended throughout the weekend. People of all ages crowded Stacy Avenue, eating ice cream and lobster rolls from food trucks. As the tide receded, kids splashed in the surf. And the harbor, Vallis said, was the most populated he'd ever seen it for the event: 'I've never seen this many boats.' Dan Glaun can be reached at

Willy Chavarria's SS26 Collection Embodies Resistance and Refined Truth
Summary At the iconic Salle Pleyel,Willy Chavarriapresented hisSpring/Summer 2026collection, 'HURON,' a profound meditation on the essence of fashion within a world grappling with uncertainty. This collection serves as a poignant reflection, particularly on the dehumanization of immigrants in the United States, translating a personal journey of resilience and joyful self-expression from Huron, California, to the global stages ofParis Fashion Week. The show opened with a powerful statement: thirty-five men in white t-shirts, a direct collaboration with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). This impactful moment drew a stark parallel to the plight of individuals profiled and persecuted without due process in Salvadoran prisons. Chavarria's ethos resonated clearly: 'I'm not interested in luxury as a symbol of privilege. I'm interested in luxury as a symbol of truth in one's own character… Exquisite tailoring and craftsmanship worn to elevate one's personal intent – that's power. That's fashion.' This philosophy permeated each look, meticulously crafted with Italian-milled fabrics exclusive to the brand, glorifying identity through refined tailoring. There is a sense of wearability with this collection that is unisex — from oversized leather blazers and trousers to collared bomber jackets for the city slicker. Continuing the designer's exploration of identity, the collection featured bold colors that center on rebellion, focusing the narrative on elevated tailorings, honoring individual expression and craftsmanship, particularly of immigrants. Reimagining traditional silhouettes, Willy Chavarria utilizes vibrant hues as a subtle nod of rebellion. Challenging traditional tropes with bright shades of red hot, bourdin blue, uniform green and more, the collection was for the individual characters in our society. Taking inspiration from filmmakers like Pedro Almodóvar and Wong Kar-Wai, Willy Chavarria highlights his love for women, creating clothes for the women who dresses for herself and not the male gaze. In menswear, repetition of core silhouettes include oversized double-breasted suits, as well as the introduction of the Chilang men's silhouette which features a softly tailored shape. The designer achieves a lifelong dream of reimagining beloved silhouettes from the Charles Jourdan archives, as well. The collection also unveils adidas Originals x Willy Chavarria's third collaboration that elevates sportswear to everyday statements. Blending performance materials with inventive streetwear aesthetics, the collection also introduces the all-new running model with the Megaride AG and Megaride AG XL. SS26 footwear will also see the release of the Chavarria Superstar.

Is Vincenzo season 2 releasing in July 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 30, 2025, 01:20 IST Last updated June 30, 2025, 01:41 IST It's been over four years since Vincenzo wrapped up its explosive first season in May 2021, and let's be honest — fans still aren't over it. The iconic South Korean drama, starring Song Joong-ki as the stylish, mafia-raised lawyer Vincenzo Cassano, left a lasting impact with its unique mix of dark humour, brutal action, and just the right dose of slow-burn romance. Since then, rumours of a second season have only gotten louder, especially with whispers suggesting a July 2025 return. So is it happening? Here's everything we know so far. Is There a Confirmed Release Date for Vincenzo Season 2? As of June 30, 2025, here's the truth: there's no official confirmation of a Vincenzo Season 2, not from Netflix, and not from South Korea's tvN network, which originally aired the show. That rumoured July 2025 release date? Looks like it's just fan speculation for now. What Might Season 2 Have in Store? No green light yet, but that doesn't stop the fandom from dreaming big. The Season 1 finale left Vincenzo as a vigilante boss, ready for new battles. Here's what's swirling in fan chats and X threads for a potential Season 2: Bigger, Badder Foes : After crushing Babel Group, Vincenzo could face a global crime syndicate or an old rival from his Italian mafia days. Think more mind-bending schemes and epic fights. Cha-young and Vincenzo's Sparks : Their flirty banter was pure fire. A new season could crank up the romance, maybe with some drama to shake things up. Geumga Plaza Chaos : The quirky tenants—piano guy, pawnshop boss, and the rest—brought the laughs. Picture them diving into fresh antics or backing Vincenzo's next mission. Secrets from Italy: Hints of Vincenzo's mafia past left fans curious. Could old enemies or allies show up to stir the pot? These are just spicy guesses, but the open-ended finale offers endless possibilities. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
