Mark the date in your calendars! Italy is coming right to our backyard with Festival Italiano returning to Newmarket on Sunday 13th November for a day of music, food, design and Italian culture.

With a host of Italian stalls, entertainment and cuisine, the festival will be set up from 11am – 5pm through Osborne Street, Kent Street and the Rialto Centre, which will all be closed off to traffic making it pedestrian friendly to allow everyone to become immersed in the day.

From artisan cheeses to Aperol Spritz, the streets will be bustling with market stalls with all kinds of Italian bits and bobs. Street food vendors will be serving up a taste of Italy all day long - think wood-fire pizza, pasta, gnocchi, gelato and tiramisu to name just a few, so we recommend coming hungry!

Along with a wide range of al fresco dining and eating areas, there will be live music and entertainment, plus plenty to keep the kids occupied with a specialty kids pavilion and spot prizes.
