Looking to experience some amazing Italian food and wine from various restaurants in the one place? Make sure you keep Saturday 27th and/or Sunday 28th April free for the Kobe Italian Food & Wine Festival.

Some of the best Italian restaurants in the region will be gathering at Takahama Quay, in front of UMIE Mosaic in Harborland and serving a variety of their specialty dishes along with a selection of great wine and Italian beer.

The festival runs from 11am to 9pm both days.

078 Film X Harbor Cinema

Running next to the food and wine festival will be the Harbor Cinema. A smaller 180 inch screen will play during the day with a large 300 inch display for the night showings.

The movies on offer will be:

• Julie & Julia (2009) – Saturday 14:45 ~ 16:50
• Chef (2014) – Sunday 16:00 ~ 18:00
• Baby Driver (2017) – Saturday 20:00 ~ 22:00
• Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) – Sunday 19:00 ~ 21:10

(I’m not sure if these are sub-titled or dubbed.) There will also be some interviews, performances and kids shows happening throughout both days.
