La Festa – Food & Wine 2024

The Cairns Italian Festival is back for a third year so get ready for an Italian extravaganza that is bigger and better than ever before!

Join us on Saturday 27 July 2024 at Fogarty Park for a spectacular day of family fun, as we celebrate all things Italian culture.

Indulge in the mouth-watering flavours of Italy with an amazing array of food and drink stalls, featuring the very best of Italian culinary delights from different regions of Italy.

You'll be spoiled for choice with our food and beverage options this year. Your favourite food vendors are back along with new stalls too. And if a little Italian courage is in order, the famous Aperol Combi Van is back again this year, plus the bar will be stocked with the best Italian wines, beers and cocktails. Savour the taste of Italy’s finest wine, coffee, and other delicious treats that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.

And this year, you can take a little piece of Italy home with you and recreate the magic in your kitchen for your family and friends with our range of Italian delicatessen stalls selling delicious produce every Nonna would approve of.

But that's not all, we have an amazing line-up of entertainment that will make you feel like you are in the heart of Italy. Be mesmerised by the live performances of Siesta Cartel, The Italian Stallions Band and DJ Marciano showcasing the best of Italian music and dancing.

You won't want to miss the incredible pizza acrobatics, folkloristic dances, or the car and motos displays, where the latest made in Italy will be on display. And if you're bringing the kids, there will be plenty of activities to keep them entertained and engaged.

This is the perfect family day out, and we can't wait to see you there! So, get your tickets and join us to experience the ultimate Italian Cultural Celebration at Fogarty Park.
