Following on from this, check out the salami judging at the Yoogali Club from mid-morning onwards.
“Showcasing the cultural richness and diversity of our region, A Taste of Italy Griffith has become one of our major annual festivals on the Griffith calendar and has been embraced so beautifully by our local community, as they deliver the many events and experiences on the ground, which make up this seven-day program, providing visitors with a memorable time in Griffith,” said Tourism Manager, Mirella Guidolin.
