Dr MARTIN (Reid) (13:53): Reid is home to a very proud and strong Italian community. On 18 August I attended the annual Ferragosto Italian street festival on Great North Road in Five Dock. It is a wonderful celebration for the community. Each year around 110,000 people attend the festival to enjoy great Italian cuisine, stalls and performances honouring the Italian culture in Reid. This year, 2019, marked the 22nd year of the Ferragosto Five Dock festival. Ferragosto celebrations coincide with the feast of the Assumption of Mary, and it was wonderful to mark this with the first-ever Italian feast day procession, led by all Hallows Catholic Church. Thank you to Canada Bay Council, which did a great job, this year most exceptionally, to organise such a large event on Great North Road in Five Dock. I'm very much looking forward to attending next year.
