This is an important public event for the Club, and all members are invited to be part of it.
We need 20+ scooters for display at the event. Oh, and the Italian community just loves an old classic bike, so get yours out. Present your Vespa and bring a club leg-shield banner if you have one.
The Festa is organized again by our old friend Eddie Rinaldo, who has personally invited the Club to attend and display. Just as we did for many years in the past. Our presence on the event grounds is covered by the club's Public Liability Insurance.
It's a two day event, and we are invited to a display space on the Sunday at the Royal Ehibition Buildings.
While we know that the club appears on the official program, the venue security has only just approved us on the grounds.
We have to arrive all together and bump in as one group at 10.45 AM. Venue security won't allow in any later entrants.
You must only ride your Vespa at walking pace on the grounds, and follow the direction of venue security
Meet from 9.30 am at Vespa House Corner Johnston & Palmer Collingwood. MAP
Depart at 10.30 AM sharp for Carlton: one big convoy. Arrive and bump in at 10.45 AM
Our display area is confirmed. The entry gate will be confirmed as either Rathdowne of Nicholson Street prior to Sunday.
- Vouchers will be distributed on arrival with compliments and thanks of the event organizers.
What a great day out!
You'll meet many people too - so many conversations to be had about Vespa!

Hi Sarah
it would be lovely to have all the Vespas parked for display for a couple of hours pending the weather.
Hi,
When will we be free to ride away on our Vespas?
Was hoping to attend - however now no able to attend
This is being held over two days but the Club has been officially invited to attend on the Sunday. It's a fun day and there is a small reward for attending.
Looking forward to seeing you all before I finally head to Egypt to do the Cross Egypt Challenge ride. 👍😄
We're still waiting for an official authority from the organizers - times, and authorised parking area.
But it will be Sunday only
