FESTA ITALIANA returns to Howard Smith Wharves for its third yearโ€ฆ Bigger, bolder and more delicious than ever ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿผ

Across two unforgettable weekends by the Brisbane River, get ready to feast, sip and celebrate with a star-studded culinary lineup featuring Orazio Dโ€™Elia, Carmine Guarino and Dean Anning. Think authentic Italian cuisine, lively spritz bars, live entertainment, family fun and even the chance to ride away on a stylish ROLL'N moped.

Main Lawn will come alive with a vibrant outdoor grill station, serving up mouthwatering porchetta focaccia rolls and succulent Pollo al Mattone chicken rollsโ€ฆ The ultimate festival fare!
Feast on Orazioโ€™s much-loved Rigatoni alla Vodka, rich with tomato, chilli, cream and a splash of vodka. Discover new favourites like Strozzapreti ai Gamberi, tossed with prawns, zucchini and cherry tomatoes. Or try Sardinian Shell Pasta alla Campidanese, a hearty mix of pork sausage, saffron and tomato sugo.

Just steps away, our Spritz Bar will be pouring a vibrant collection of bold and refreshing takes on Italyโ€™s most iconic cocktails. From fruity Lambrusco Spritzes to frozen White Peach Aperol Slushiesโ€ฆ The lineup is a lively celebration of citrus, sunshine and spritz culture. And to mark the occasion, Felons Brewing Co. has brewed a crisp Italian Lager which will be available exclusively at the festival.

Bringing a true taste of Rome to the riverfront, Napoli-born chef Carmine Guarino will showcase his passion for traditional Italian street foodโ€ฆ Think Roman style pizzas served by the slice, paired with natural Italian wines and the feel-good sounds of classic Italo Disco. For a true Italian deli experience, an authentic Salumeria will serve freshly made mozzarella, artisanal charcuterie boards, and crispy calamariโ€ฆ Complete with live mozzarella making demonstrations throughout the festival.

In partnership with Aperol, Ciao Papi Garden will transform into a sun-soaked oasis inspired by the citrus groves of Southern Italy, bursting with bold orange accents, lush greenery and a dedicated Aperol Spritz Barโ€ฆ The ultimate riverside spot to sip, snack and soak up the sunshine. For those with a sweet tooth, Gelato Messina will be serving an exclusive festival collaboration, a dessert crafted especially for FESTA ITALIANA.

Families are in for a treat too, with a dedicated bambino zone featuring childrenโ€™s entertainment and open play areas, making FESTA ITALIANA a true event for all ages. Adding to the excitement, FESTA ITALIANA will also feature live music and roaming entertainers, bringing even more vibrancy and atmosphere across both weekends.
