The Columbus Italian Festival celebrates all things Italian – especially food – with a prevue dinner dance at The Berwick on the Monday before the festival weekend.

The festival then kicks off on Friday. Visitors can see demonstrations of Italian cookery. There is a Bocce Ball tournament (application forms available online), and a Parade.

Rides and family-friendly activities will be available all weekend long.

There are two stages with Italian music artists performing for most of the opening hours of the festival.
