La Festa Food and Wine Highlights Video

La Festa Food and Wine 2024 was a fabulous day of family fun celebrating all things Italian Culture with delicious Italian from different regions of Italy, wine, coffee and world-class entertainment.

What an amazing line-up of entertainment we had in 2024, that made us feel like we were in the heart of Italy. We were mesmerised by the live performances of Siesta Cartel, The Italian Stallions and DJ Marciano showcasing the best of Italian music and dancing across the day and night. We were dazzled again this year by the incredible pizza acrobatics of Youseff Ben Touati, performances by Turning Pointe Dance Studios and the incredible voices of Cairns and Regional Opera (CARO Voices). The annual spaghetti eating competition was also a highlight this year. The night ended with a bang displaying the amazing fireworks on the Esplanade to celebrate another truly magical Cairns Italian Festival.

And what is an Italian Festival without food and wine. Wow! Our stomachs were most definitley satisfied this year, with a fabulous array of different food and beverage stalls representing different regions of Italy. Pure heaven!

Thank you to everyone who attended! See you next year.
