Many of us love all things Italian and in particular, their pasta and their food in general. This event is going to celebrate all things Italian and will be on Sunday 22nd October 2018. It will be held at the Piazza Italia, Lygon Street, Carlton. This Piazza is part of Argyle Gardens and is an outdoor square that often holds community events and festivals.

This Festa is also sometimes referred to as the Lygon Street Fiesta, or La Dolce Italia. It will be on from 11.00 am to 9.00 pm, giving you plenty of time to join in this fun day!



As well as great food, there will also be great stage entertainment, sporting activities, vehicle displays and a craft market. Here you will be able to buy souvenirs and much more. There will be carnival rides as well as many cultural activities and an extensive collection of Italian antiquities on display.

For the serious coffee drinkers, there will be a choice of good Italian style coffee. You will be able to sample a vast range of Italian food including freshly-made pizza or authentic lasagna. After that, you will be able to choose from a range of decadent desserts and even a good wine or two!

Some of the food vendors who will have their Italian food at this Festa include:
