Beyond Venice e LisAmore! – il Cuore della Cultura Italiana a Lismore
The Lismore Friendship Festival Inc was established in 2016 to strengthen the friendship city ties Lismore has with Conegliano and Vittorio Vento in northern Italy and to celebrate the positive influence and impact migrant Italians and their descendants have contributed to the region.
We hold two events each year – Beyond Venice and LisAmore!
Beyond Venice 2025 – 15th February 2025
Couples, families, and colleagues are invited to gather for an unforgettable evening of fun, friendship, delicious food, and fantastic music. Bring your masks, put on your dancing shoes, and dress to impress for Beyond Venice 2025!
LisAmore! 2025 – 6th July 2025
Join us for LisAmore! 2025 on Sunday, July 6, and experience a vibrant celebration of Italian culture with food, music, dance, and family-friendly fun. Don’t miss this unforgettable event—mark your calendars and be part of the magic!
