Swiss Italian Festa – Main Festa Day

Saturday 24 October 2026
Mineral Springs Reserve, Hepburn Springs

This Is the Festa!

Hepburn Springs comes alive on Saturday 24 October for the main event of the 2026 Swiss Italian Festa — a full day of food, music, culture, family and celebration at the beautiful Mineral Springs Reserve.

Celebrate the remarkable Swiss Italian heritage that helped shape our region while enjoying a packed program of live bands, music and entertainment, performances from our local schools, cultural activities and plenty for the whole family.

And come hungry.

The Reserve will be filled with food and drink from local businesses, community groups and visiting vendors, with pizza, gelato, coffee, Swiss Italian favourites and plenty more to enjoy throughout the day.

Help Us Make History

One of the highlights of the 2026 Festa will be an attempt to create a Tarantella world record, bringing the crowd together for one enormous celebration of traditional Italian dance.

Whether you know the steps or have never danced the Tarantella in your life, we want you involved. More details about how to participate will be released in the lead-up to the Festa.

From Daylight to Fireworks

Stay with us into the evening as the Festa continues with food, music and entertainment before the skies above Hepburn Springs light up with a spectacular fireworks display at 8:00pm.

Bring the family, gather your friends and make a weekend of it.

This isn't simply a celebration of where we've come from — it's about bringing our heritage to life and sharing it with the next generation.
