Welcome to the Piazza Birra Moretti!

A festival experience that transported festival goers to a rustic Italian Piazza and immersed them in “Life’s Simple Pleasures” - good beer, good food and great company! A gathering for all to experience the magic of Italy’s ‘Aperitivo Time’!

We created a stand-out space, designed to replicate a traditional Italian piazza through exposed brick buildings, terracotta roofing, an authentic Italian trattoria,, with a high-rise clock tower in the ‘town square’ as a focal point for Aperitivo Time.

Throughout the day, Piazza Birra Moretti was an escape from the busy festival, where guests could have a beer, play games and listen to authentic Italian music from Luisa Annabali. Surprised guests with greeted with complimentary  Italian Gelato, wood-fired pizzas and cold beers. 

Everyday at 6PM, the clocktower chimed loudly, letting festival goers know it's ‘Aperitivo Time’! Orchestrated by an Italian actor, the crowd gathered for a collective “Salute” (cheers) moment where hundreds of guests raised their glasses in unison to celebrate this Italian tradition.

A six-piece brass band wove their way through the crowd for an impactful performance that got people up and dancing. Entertainment continued throughout the evening with various bands; New Brass Kings, The Hit Men Trio and DJ. A secret restaurant "Il Segreto" was also created, a 12-seater restaurant for invited guests, media and VIP's. The menu was a 3-course family-style meal curated by Dublin Pizza Co and hosted by an Italian actor who shared the story of Birra Moretti and Life's Simple Pleasures!

Footfall was at a max capacity every evening to close (500 Pax)

11 Musical performances across weekend

300 x complimentary Birra Moretti beers specifically at Aperitivo Time to ensure guests had a drink for the group cheers.
