This is an important public event for the Club, right at the entrance. This year we are proud to be associated with the Italian Cultural Institute and their photo display celebrating 70 years of Vespa. All members are welcome.
We need 20 scooters and maintain the numbers through the day as people come and go. Oh, and the Italian community just loves an old classic bike, so get yours out.
Meet from 10 am at Vespa House Corner (Johnston & Palmer Collingwood. MAP
- Free Coffee and crepes compliments of the Club and Clem from Johnston & Palmer.
- Exclusive: Vespa House will be open. You can touch and feel the new Vespa 70th anniversary bikes just out of the crate.
Depart at 11.15 sharp for Lygon St: one big convoy. Arrive and bump in at 11.30.
Proudly next to the Vespa 70th Anniversary Stand & the Italian Cultural Institute.
- Your lunch is a complimentary panino from the Bertocchi stand or a coffee from the Wheres Marcel stand. We have 20. Vouchers will be distributed upon arrival at Vespa House. First arrivals get the deal.
What a great day out!
New parking arrangements: This year half of Lygon St is closed to traffic, so that's where we'll be, right next the Italian Cultural Institute.
You'll meet many people too - so many conversations to be had about Vespa! You don't have to stay all day, and later arrivals are welcome. But if you are arriving later, you'll need to show your Vespa Club Member card to gain entry to the parking area.

Unless this cold I have manifests into something worse, i'll see you at Vespa House.
Hi guys
Lunch in Carlton. We have 20 vouchers for a free panini from Bertocchi at the event. These will distributed to riders on arrival at Vespa House in the morning. So it's first in first served. If you miss out we have 20 vouchers for a coffee there too.
Sorry, that's the organizers limit: they don't really realize how big this Club is... I'm sure we'll all be retreating to a café on Lygon St anyway.
Sure Stuart. Of course. no probs
Hardly worthwhile firing it up ...:)
One catch Neville, we expect you to start up and ride your vespas not roll them down the street....:) See you and Maha on Sunday... we will be parking on the road this year so much easier for everyone.
We'll be there. It's our backyard so how could we not attend ...?
Hi all, if you are planning on coming to the Italia Festa, please mark your attendance a.s.a.p. We have to finalise food and drink vouchers with the organisers so we don't want you to miss out.
Hi
We are pleased to announce that we will be in association with an exhibition sponsored by the Italian Cultural institute. Access and parking arrangements will be different to those published above. Just waiting for final Council approval. Watch this event space!
