MORE ABOUT THE EVENT
It’s that time of year! Melbourne Tomato Festival 2017 
19th March 2017 
10 am to 6pm 
All Nations Park Northcote 
 
Nothing defines Italian Culture in Melbourne more than the backyard tomato harvest and suburban garage sauce making.   
 
Since 2015 The Grossi Family through The Melbourne Tomato Festival brings this positive childhood memory to the wider community in support of multiculturalism and preservation of cultures and customs through food. Also, social well-being through connecting people to each other with food. 
 
Our friends at Perfection are growing 2 tonne of juicy tomatoes ready for hundreds of enthusiasts to join the team at Home Make It in crushing and bottling their own passata. 
 
As a principal partner, The City of Darebin is excited to welcome The Melbourne Tomato Festival to Northcote in 2017 as part of its increasing repertoire of events, experiences and a culturally vibrant precinct.  Over the next few weeks you may see a snapshot of the passata making that is to come with the support of Preston Market and Preston Central.  A vibrant community, well known for the fresh food centre and multicultural eating houses. 
 
The event welcomes back the involvement of Capi – award winning Australian mineral water with their famously created Capi tomato and basil gin and tonic, The Napoleone family with Punt Road wines, who through their winery, orchards, brewery and cider house, are committed to creating the most exceptional beers, ciders and wines in the Yarra Valley and for The Melbourne Tomato Festival.  
 
How we grow our food or where we source it from has a great impact on our health, lifestyle and future. Our food traditions define our culture, our family and ultimately us as individuals.  
 
It is in keeping with this ethos that we gather together our local producers, community and champions of all things Italian to celebrate what has become known as ‘National Italian Day’ –the making of the passata or the Melbourne Tomato Festival.  
 
It is a gathering of local farmers selling produce with thanks to Melbourne Farmers Markets, speakers, agriculturalists, cooking demonstrations, Italian food, artisan producers, special guests, history, workshops, entertainment and of course passata making.  
 
A snapshot of our program includes: 
 
Demonstrations by Guy Grossi, Karen Martini, Colin Fassnidge, Frank Camorra, Matt Wilkinson and Massimo Mele.
