Join us for an even grander celebration of Italian culture and cuisine at the Nelson Italian Festival 2025!
The 2024 festival drew over 5,000 people, and we're ready to do it again—bigger and better!
Savour delicious Italian street food, watch gourmet dishes come to life in our (always sold out) cooking demos, and groove to traditional folk music and dances. Discover unique Italian crafts, perfect for gifts or a treat for yourself. Plus, our biggest classic car and motorbike display yet awaits you...
FREE entry (donations are welcome). Family and pet friendly.
This special event is brought to you by Club Italia with the support of the Italian Embassy in Wellington, Nelson City Council, Italian Chamber of Commerce in NZ, and Comites Nuova Zelanda. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more updates.
