As with any great festival, food is the hallmark of a people’s culture, and the Carlton Italian Festa is no different. Sample a range of Italian cuisine at the festival, including freshly-made pizza or authentic lasagne and top it up with a decadent dessert and a great wine.
You will also find plenty of musical performances, and DJs will turn up the music when the sun goes down to keep the festival atmosphere going!
Typically, when the Carlton Italian Festa commences, both ends of the street are closed down to make space for the cafes, food stalls and shops that remain open for the period of the festival. So those looking to travel to the event should be mindful of these road closures, which will disrupt the traffic.
So come and visit this great festival and experience all the great things about Italy.
