Italian Charity Day at Sandy Bay

The first annual ‘Italian Charity Day at Sandy Bay’ was held in December 1983.  This fundraising event is organized to raise funds for The Duchess of Kent Children’s Hospital at Sandy Bay, a hospital specializing in orthopaedics and paediatric cases.

The annual event is held on the first Saturday of December.  ‘II Mercatino’ is a bazaar of products donated by our Italian sponsors with gourmet corner.  People are welcome to shop or enjoy Italian dishes, at a minimal cost and with all proceeds supporting a worthy cause.
