ANY QUESTIONS?


Boungiorno!
With the annual event relocating to the Tyto Precinct for the first time this year, a group of 11 girls will act as festival guides to help locals and visitors navigate their way around the new venue.

"Luigi's Signorinas" will greet visitors, hand out programs, encourage people to participate in traditional games - such as the greasy pole competition - and direct visitors around the festival.

If you have any questions, look out for Luigi's Signorinas and they will assist you at the festival.
