LisAmore! celebrates and acknowledges the contribution Italians have made to the Northern Rivers region over the past 135+ years. This will be the 5th festival. Initially created to strengthen the sister-city ties Lismore has with northern Italy the event has grown and now embraces their love of all things Italian including its language, food, culture, sport and people bringing the whole community together. The main one-day event will be held on Sunday 30th October with an Accordion Carnaval held on Saturday beforehand. This weekend will continue to build over the next few years to become a whole weekend of Italian fun!
