The MP Italian Festa Returns
Sunday 1 November 2026
The MP Italian Festa is the Peninsula's number one celebration of Italianity.
One day. One location. An experience that feels like stepping into a little Italy by the bay.
Authentic food. Regional wine. Live music. Cultural exhibitions. Kids' entertainment. And the kind of warmth that only comes when a community gathers around something they truly love.
Born from Calabrese heritage and a deep love for the Peninsula, the Festa was created to honour the lasting contributions of Italian Australians to this region, and to give everyone, Italian or not, a reason to celebrate.
