Ferragosto

Ferragosto

Ferragosto is one of Sydney's largest Italian Festivals, an annual event every August on Great North Road, Five Dock

Celebrating Italian food, culture and heritage, Ferragosto attracted 120,000 visitors in 2019.
Stretching for almost 1km, it comprises 150 stalls and food trucks, 5 stages, funfair rides and procession. Production involved responsibility for all aspects of creative programming, traffic management, production, bump-in and out, safety, security and contractor management.

In 2020, Ferragosto was adapted at a live online broadcast - Ferragosto at home - with a programme of live interviews, cooking and demonstrations mixed with community videos and archive material from the 23 years of this event. This is captured in the showreel below, and the following 3 videos capture the spirit and atmosphere of Ferragosto from 2019.
