And in true democracy, the best will be decided by public vote.

Variations of the classic parma will include special dishes from Just Like Nonna’s, Burrito Bae

The Bearded Jaffle, Jake’s Kitchen, Parma Bites and even a traditional Soft Serve rolled in crushed Chicken Crimpy Shapes by Mr Whippy.

There’s also a vegan parma made from soy ‘chicken’ bites, Napoli sauce, and vegan cheese.

The Ascot Lot manager David Bartl said he was expecting a crowd.

“The festival was launched when the election was announced as we wanted to tie in a classic Aussie meal with the day,” Mr Bartl said.

“We got to work locking in some of the best food trucks in Melbourne who would all prepare their own variation of a parma.”

There will be $10 Jugs of The Lot lager and cider with any parma and a range of $10 espresso martini’s including the Bounty Hunter and Cherry Bite.

There will be a DJ and dogs are welcome.
