Begin the 2026 Swiss Italian Festa with a special evening celebrating the people, stories, food and traditions that shaped Hepburn Springs.

Held at the historic Swiss Mountain Hotel, the Heritage Dinner brings our community together to honour the Italian-speaking Swiss settlers whose journey to the region began more than 170 years ago — and whose influence remains part of Hepburn’s identity today.

Enjoy an evening of good food, conversation and shared history as we celebrate the generations who came before us and the remarkable Swiss Italian heritage that continues to live on.
