Melbourne Salami Festa 2018
Melbourne's bona fide cured meat carnival.
Overview
Join the salami army at the 2018 edition of this gastronomic gathering at Welcome to Thornbury. Now in its sixth 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–10pm on Saturday, October 13 and 11dam–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 Garage featuring dozens of producers from far and wide. 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. Among other gongs, the event will also be giving out a Best Homemade Salami prize.
Last time the festa was held back in 2016, more than 6,000 people went along — consuming a whopping 30,000 pieces of salami over the two days. If that sounds like your idea of heaven, we suggest arriving early and hungry.
