Preston Market's Italian Day
Your much-needed Italian culture fix, starring food stalls, live tunes, dancing and plenty of cannoli.
Overview
It feels like half of Melbourne is currently living it up on a European summer getaway. But if you want your own fix without the long-haul flight, you'll find it at Preston Market this month. On Sunday, August 28, the food precinct promises to sate those holiday cravings when it fires up for the return of its ever-popular Italian Day.
You're in for a spirited celebration of Italian culture and food, complete with live tunes from acts like Tony Vilella, No Limit, Carmelo di Giglio and Toni Marchi. You'll even catch performances from the Melbourne School of Tarantella, which'll have you grooving to the rhythms of the South of Italy.
Of course, the Italian eats will be in strong supply, with pop-up stalls slinging everything from meatball crepes and fresh pasta, to traditional gelato and cannoli. Masterchef alum Amir Manoly will also be hitting the kitchen for some cooking demos and free tastings.
