About
The Italian Festa is more than an event – it’s a celebration of everything that makes Italy irresistibly charming and one of Melbourne’s most comprehensive showcases of Italian culture.
With over 180 stalls, including 50+ offering delicious street food and drinks, the Festa brings together food, wine, music, art, fashion and entertainment for all ages.
New this year: discover Expo Sapori, try your luck in the Mega Italian Raffle, celebrate 80 years of iconic Vespa design, relax in the new Beer Garden, and dance from day to night at the all-day Discoteca.
There’s also an indoor wine degustation area, three stages of live entertainment, Kids’ Paradise, and the Italian Jazz Festival with six concerts. Food lovers can join La Gara del Biscotto, a baking competition open to the public and pastry students, with Guy Grossi heading the jury.
Whether you’re Italian at heart or simply love the culture, come and experience a little piece of Italy in Melbourne.
