Casoncello Festival

The casoncello, queen of the Bergamo table

The Casoncello Festival in Castro, on Lake Iseo in the province of Bergamo, is dedicated to one of the most beloved dishes of local cuisine: the Bergamo casoncello, a filled raviolo with an unmistakable flavour, seasoned with butter, sage, and pancetta. It is an event that has been attracting lovers of good food to the lake shores for over twenty years.

Feast of taste and music

The event, organised by the Pro Loco of Castro, is held in the festival area of the lakefront, in the Castro Beach area. The bar is open all day and the catering service welcomes guests every evening, without the need for reservations. But the festival is not just about food: each evening offers a different show, including live concerts, musical tributes, dance, and magic, for a celebration that lasts several days and keeps you company until late at night.

The setting of Lake Iseo

Experiencing the festival in Castro means dining with a view of Lake Iseo, one of Lombardy's most picturesque lakes, nestled among the mountains and famous for the island of Monte Isola. The Castro lakefront, with its beach, is the ideal place to enjoy a summer evening with good food, music, and the reflection of lights on the water.

Who is it for

The Casoncello Festival is perfect for those who love traditional Bergamo cuisine and are looking for a genuine village festival, with good music and a lakeside location. Suitable for families, couples, and groups of friends.
