Melbourne Salami Festa 2016

Overview

Join the salami army at the 2016 edition of this gastronomic gathering at Northcote Town Hall. Now in its fifth straight year, think of the Melbourne Salami Festa as Woodstock or ComicCon — but for salami. So way better, is basically what we're saying.

Running from 10am until 10pm on Saturday, October 8 and 10am to 6pm the next day, the event — a bona fide cured meat carnival — will include workshops, demonstrations, DJs and bands, as well as a Grand Salumi Hall featuring dozens of producers from far and wide. Meatsmith and D.O.C. are just a few of the locals who'll be carving up their wares. Wander between the stalls and sample what's on offer, before returning on the Sunday to cast your vote in the highly coveted People's Choice Awards.
