Vietnam's La Festa Phu Quoc, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton, is set to host the country's only Ferragosto festival on 15 August 2026. This vibrant celebration of Italian culture will take place on Phu Quoc's "Pearl Island," offering a day filled with Italian-inspired festivities, including cultural workshops, culinary experiences, and entertainment. Funds raised during the event will support local schools by providing scholarships to talented students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Ferragosto, rooted in Roman tradition, marks the end of the summer harvest and is a time when Italians traditionally escape the city heat for coastal relaxation. This year, La Festa Phu Quoc aims to recreate this experience in Asia, transforming Sunset Town into a hub of festive energy. Justin Kim, General Manager of La Festa Phu Quoc, expressed excitement about the event, stating, "We are delighted to unveil our activities for Ferragosto 2026, as Sunset Town prepares to transform into a haven of festive energy."

The festival will feature a range of activities from 9am to 7.30pm, including a Local Arts & Crafts Fair, a Summer Water Run, and a vibrant Pool Party. Guests can also indulge in a "Grand Lunch" seafood buffet, showcasing Mediterranean flavours. The day will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display over the sea and Kiss Bridge.

With only 250 tickets available, Ferragosto at La Festa Phu Quoc promises to be an unforgettable celebration of culture, community, and cuisine
