History
The first Carnevale in Adelaide was held in 1976 in Rundle Mall. A parade travelled from Victoria Square to Elder Park before ending with celebrations in Rundle Mall. It was originally called The Italian Festival and is now known as Carnevale in Adelaide. The festival has been held in a number of locations over the years including Rundle Mall, Elder Park, Norwood and Adelaide Ovals, Rymill Park. In 2015 it was held at The Adelaide Showground
It is a means of inspiring young people to embrace their Italian heritage and for the wider community to experience Italian culture. The event also raises funds to cater for welfare needs of the elderly in the Italian community through the Co-ordinating Italian Committee (CIC) and supports other worthy charities and community organisations. 1
