Experience the flavours, sounds and traditions of Italy at Italy in Town 2026, returning to Cape Town on 21 and 22 November for a two-day celebration of Italian food, wine, culture and lifestyle at the historic Castle of Good Hope.
Presented by the Italian South African Chamber of Trade and Industries, the festival transforms the landmark into a lively Italian piazza, with authentic food, premium wines, live entertainment and an artisan market showcasing Italian and Italian-inspired products.
Visitors can enjoy wood-fired pizza, freshly prepared pasta, porchetta, arancini, cannoli and gelato, alongside aperitivo favourites, espresso and wine tastings. Live opera, music, chef demonstrations and cultural showcases add to the atmosphere, while the artisan market offers an opportunity to discover distinctive gifts, design and lifestyle products ahead of the festive season.
Saturday’s programme also includes a live screening of South Africa versus Ireland rugby, making it an ideal occasion to gather with friends and family for a weekend of Italian-inspired food and entertainment.
