Brisbane will be turned into a sea of green, red and white between May 26 and June 2 as part of Italian Week. With festivities running throughout the week, there’s one party you won’t want to miss.
Sunday 31 May will see an Italian street festival take over New Farm Park. The free event will feature everything you love about Italy. From food and wine, to opera and cars, this street festival will have the whole family entertained.
Nearly 100 performers will entertain crowds whilst they mingle in Brissie’s beautiful New Farm Park and celebrate all things Italian. To make sure the kids are entertained there will even be activities for the little ones throughout the day.
Italian Week is an annual event which commemorates the anniversary of Italy becoming a republic. The week long festival celebrates both the Italian culture and the Italian influence in Australia. An Italian Affair is the perfect way to spend your Sunday. While away your weekend as you eat, drink and taking in the festivities in our beautiful city!
Ci Vediamo là!
The street festival will run from 11am until 6pm in New Farm Park on May 31. For more information check out our Event Guide listing.
It will be fabulous. Can’t wait!!
Very disappointed in the festival in New Farm Park. They really got this all wrong in pretty much every way. You have to wait in line to buy tickets, and then wait in other lines to get your food – and probably needed to wait in more than one line for your different items. The food was poor and not remotely authentic, with overcooked pasta and undercooked pizzas, all at vastly inflated prices. We eventually waited a whopping 25 minutes for some fair floss too. Rubbish bins were overflowing, and there wasn’t anywhere near the amount of seating required.
thanks what happens when you have 50,000 people arrive at the festival – one of the largest in Australia
