It’s a perfect day for a silky gelato and Aperol Spritz at Nelson’s free-entry Italian Festival which is underway at Lower Trafalgar St and Trafalgar Park.
Rolled out by Club Italia Nelson, the finest Italian cuisine, entertainment, swish vehicles, football, cooking demonstrations, and kids activities are on offer until 4pm.
An “Italians in Nelson” exhibition is also avaliable for the first time this year and a raffle to win seven nights accommodation in Rome is also on the table.
Lower Trafalgar St between Wainui St and Elliott St will be closed until 7pm for the festival.
