Ferragosto

Breadcrumb

Every August, Great North Road in Five Dock comes alive with the sights, sounds, and flavours of Italy for Ferragosto – our biggest celebration of Italian food, culture, and heritage. With vibrant performances, bustling market stalls, and live cooking demonstrations, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We’re committed to making Ferragosto a highlight of the year for both residents and visitors.

As we begin planning Ferragosto 2025, we’d love to hear from you! Share your favourite Ferragosto memories, tell us what you’ve loved most, and let us know how we can make next year’s event even better. Send your ideas to events@canadabay.nsw.gov.au or fill out a short survey by clicking here.

Stallholders

Stallholder applications are opening soon.

Before beginning the application process, please familiarise yourself with the information below.

For more information about the application process or selection criteria please read the terms and conditions.

Documents required: 

  • Public Liability Insurance (minimum $20 million coverage)
  • Images of your previous set ups/mock up
  • List of equipment used
  • Food Safety Checklist*
  • Food Safety Supervisory Certificate (Statement of Attainment will not accepted)*
  • Producer/Wholesaler Liquor License**
  • Evidence of Not-For-Profit Status (if applicable)

* Food vendors
** Liquor vendors

Applications will only be accepted via our online application form. It is the stallholder's responsibility to ensure your application has been submitted.

Applications close on Monday, 7 April 2025.

Please read all the information on the application carefully and have all the necessary information ready before you start. Once you begin your application you will need to continue to the end – you will not be able to save and come back to complete it later.

Important note: As you work through the application online, you will come to a summary page that shows all the information submitted so far. The next page asks you to complete another set of contact details for the applicant which is very similar to an earlier page for ‘Trading or Business Name’. This page allows traders to provide personal details which are different to those of the business. If this does not apply to you then just repeat the same personal information here again.

If your application has been submitted successfully the system will send you an email confirmation with an EVT reference number. If you do not receive an email acknowledging your application within 20 minutes, then it has not been received and you will need to apply again. If you have problems or have a query, email events@canadabay.nsw.gov.au.

The City of Canada Bay reserves the right to refuse any application.

If your application is unsuccessful, you will be notified via email. If you have been approved, you will receive an invoice by email requesting full payment. Your position at the event is not confirmed until payment is made. If payment is not received by the requested deadline stated on the invoice your spot will be forfeited and released to another stallholder. Any payment received after will not reinstate your position.
