La Dolce Vita Returns to Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour!
Mark your calendars for Sunday 26 October 2025, when Little Italy by the Sea transforms Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour into a vibrant Italian village by the sea. This year’s festival is set to be bigger, brighter, and more dazzling than ever before — a spectacular celebration of culture, cuisine, and community.
Set against the sparkling backdrop of Fishing Boat Harbour and Bathers Beach, you’ll be swept away from the moment you arrive. The precinct will come alive with the rhythm of fiery tarantellas, contemporary music, and roving street performers who capture the magic and spontaneity of Italian festivals.
Prepare to be amazed by breathtaking performances, striking fashion parades, and interactive cultural displays that honour Italy’s old-world traditions while embracing modern-day flair. Every corner will reveal another burst of colour, music, or laughter — a true feast for the senses.
Of course, no Italian celebration is complete without food. Savour the authentic flavours of Italy with wood-fired pizza, handmade pasta, creamy gelato, rich espresso, and more. Then, step into the La Dolce Vita Bar — a sparkling seaside haven where you can sip an Aperol Spritz or glass of vino, enjoy Italian cocktail demonstrations at both La Dolce Vita Bar and Cicerello’s, and soak in sweeping harbour views.
For families, a world of wonder awaits. Children will delight in the bubble extravaganza, meet enchanting mermaids and cheeky unicorns, and get hands-on in pasta dough-making workshops. For the first time, the Magical Mermaid Aquarium Show brings ocean enchantment to Fremantle — a must-see family spectacle where real-life mermaids glide gracefully through a dazzling 12-metre aquarium.
Young imaginations can run wild at the LEGO building station, while history lovers can explore captivating maritime stories at the WA Shipwrecks Museum. With so many engaging, interactive experiences, the kids’ program promises joy, creativity, and discovery for all ages.
And for the first time, our Nonnas will take centre stage, sharing their cherished cooking traditions in live demonstrations. Watch these matriarchs prepare rustic Italian recipes passed down through generations, reminding us all of the enduring bonds of food, family, and heritage.
Immerse yourself in the charm of Italy as Fremantle’s Fishing Boat Harbour becomes a living postcard of lively villages and sun-drenched coastal towns. This is more than a festival — it’s a celebration of life, culture, and connection.
With FREE entry, continuous live entertainment, and world-class hospitality across Mews Park, Bathers Beach, and Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour Piazza, you’ll be spoilt for choice at every turn.
Join us for Little Italy by the Sea — an unforgettable day where Italy’s vibrant traditions meet Fremantle’s iconic waterfront in a celebration that will leave lasting memories.
Ciao WA — your Italian seaside escape awaits!
