The Italian Festa is not just an event - it's a celebration of everything that makes Italy so irresistibly charming, the most comprehensive showcase of Italian culture ever seen in Melbourne.

The event features over 150 stalls, 40 of which offer delicious street food and drinks, an indoor wine degustation area, three stages with live music and demonstrations, sports activations, art and fashion exhibitions, and more.

This event has been designed to delight not only Italians from various generations and birthplaces, united by their love for their homeland, but also Australians eager to immerse themselves in Italian culture.

Just a few hints of what's new this year: the Kid's Paradise with amusements, activations and food; the Sport Village with soccer, cycling, tennis, bocce, fencing and more; the first Italian Jazz Festival with 6 concerts; and the Chef's Challenge with Guy Grossi as head of the jury.
