A variety of Italian food will be available onsite. Greater Shepparton City Council’s Mayor Kim O’Keeffe encourages everyone to come along to celebrate this fabulous Italian Festa. “This event will be another great addition to our major events calendar with the potential to grow into an iconic festival for the region generating strong visitation and economic benefits for the region”
