The free, family-friendly event will bring together a collection of your most-loved Italian food, produce and drinks.

The 2023 Festa highlight will be the return of crowd favourites, the Flag throwers and musicians from Faenza in Italy.

This will be the only event in Australia where you will see this unique and spectacular exhibition of internationally acclaimed performers.

As with every year of the Festa, there will be a line-up of authentic Italian food stalls to satisfy everyone’s appetites, including traditional arancini, handmade gnocchi, salty tasty arrosticini meat skewers, pizza, calamari, spicy BBQ salsicce and the Italian favourite, pasta with all kinds of sauces.

For dolce, Italian for dessert, indulge in gelato, zeppole, tiramisu, biscotti, cannoli and numerous sweet treats.

Everything can be washed down with Italian beers, wines or an Aperol Spritz (or two).

For those looking for a non-alcoholic beverage, fresh fruit juice, milkshakes and mocktails will be on hand, along with every type of coffee.

Altogether, over 30 genuine food and drink options will nourish your inner Italian.
