Italian Street Food Festival: the photo contest
Participants will have the chance to participate in a photo contest by taking a picture during the Italian Street Food Festival and posting it on their Instagram profile with the hashtag: #italianstreetfoodfestival. The winner will get a three-night stay for two people in Sicily. Why Sicily? Well, it’s the perfect location to celebrate and experience first-hand one of the most important places for the Italian street food tradition. You can find more details about the contest here and on True Italian’s social media channels.

An exceptional Italian DJ-set: Borghetta Stile land in Berlin
With the return of the Italian Street Food Festival, good music certainly could not be missing. They are called Borghetta Stile and are the most famous Roman DJ collective in Italy, active since 2006. Their style: dance music from the 90s, cartoons, bubblegum pop and disguises. In short, a charge of laughs and fun for the Berlin crowd with a totally alternative style. Their DJ set is scheduled for both days from 5.30 pm until closing time (10 pm).
The Italian street food tradition
The great variety of street food is definitely one of the most popular aspects of Italian gastronomic tradition. Travelling all around Italy, you can taste traditional and genuine products that captivate your five senses: everybody knows that the eyes are the first thing that makes you want to taste food. One of Italy’s major wealth is the cuisine: recipes that are inspired by the tradition of the past, a fusion of customs that will be generously proposed at the Italian Street Food Festival. An event that allows non-Italians to know the best of Italy and makes Italians feel at home in Berlin, even if just for a while.
