Experiences
Jazz, open-air cinema, community heritage and Italian art & design — the cultural heart of the Festa.
AFTER DARK
Slip into an intimate cocktail-lounge setting where Italian and international jazz plays long into the evening. Sink into the low light, order a drink, and let the music carry the night. A ticketed experience with limited seats.
OPEN AIR
When the sun goes down, the screen lights up. Watch Italian film under the open sky, framed by the glowing facade of the Royal Exhibition Building. It's a cinema night with a backdrop you won't find anywhere else.
OUR PEOPLE
Meet the Italian-Australian community groups who keep language, tradition and family heritage warmly alive. Across the weekend they share their stories, their crafts and their welcome, the living heart of the festival.
MADE IN ITALY
Step into the Gallery in Zone P to discover Italian design brands, bold art installations and beautifully made lifestyle products. It's contemporary Italian creativity on full show, where craftsmanship meets imagination.
/ Stay connected
Art, Design & Lifestyle shares the Gallery level (Zone P) with the Regioni Italiane area and the Jazz Club.
