Get excited! Ferragosto is returning to Great North Road on Sunday, 17 August from 10am-5pm.
Each year, Ferragosto transforms Great North Road into a vibrant Italian piazza, drawing thousands of visitors, and this year is set to be bigger and better than ever.
The event features a packed program of live music, cultural performances, cooking demonstrations, delicious food stalls, market vendors, amusement rides, and family-friendly activities.
A highlight this year will be the addition of our new event partner APEROL. Garfield Street is set to be transformed into an orange, Mediterranean oasis as they bring Terrazza Aperol to life with their signature serve.
Offering Ferragosto visitors the chance to win a trip for two to Italy and other great prizes, you're invited to relax with a refreshing Aperol Spritz and take in the celebration of Ferragosto with family and friends.
Returning event partner SANDHURST will also be taking over First Avenue which will transform into Via Sandhurst for the day. Festival-goers can enjoy free tastings of iconic products, purchase a range of their gourmet goods, and watch cooking demonstrations at the kitchen stage where chefs will showcase dishes featuring Sandhurst ingredients.
"Ferragosto is a highlight on our City's calendar, and this year we're raising the bar once again," Mayor Michael Megna said.
"We're excited to bring back everything people love about Ferragosto, while introducing new experiences to make the event even more memorable."
