Experience life Italian style at the Gold Coast Italian Festival in 2016! Prepare to savour the tastes, sights and sounds of Italy when the first annual Gold Coast Italian Festival descends on Broadbeach on Saturday March 26 and Sunday March 27. Over the Easter long-weekend experience a taste of Italy, from fine food and Italian wines to music, family entertainment and fast cars. Celebrated in Brisbane since 2007, the Italian Festival is set to head to the coast and paint the town red, white and green. The event organisers are bringing the well-loved Italian food and wine festival to Broadbeach to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the festival.

Fun for all the family as the Italian Festival welcomes you to the taste of authentic Italian food, entertainment and history. The cultural festival will sit on the oceanfront in Pratten Park in Broadbeach where street vendors will be serving wood fired pizza, pasta and delicious gelato, with Italian wines coming from many regions around Italy. The festival aims to promote Italian culture in Australia and around the world and highlight the influence of Italian culture in Australia as a result of immigration and integration.
