Roasted chestnuts and Christmas atmosphere to end the year in Comerio
The Castagnata e Mercatini di Natale is one of the most anticipated events in the calendar of the Pro Loco of Comerio, a municipality in the province of Varese overlooking Lake Varese. It is the festival that unites two traditions: the autumn castagnata (roasted chestnuts), with the aroma of hot chestnuts, and the Christmas markets, which anticipate the festive atmosphere.
The stars of the day are the roasted chestnuts, prepared and served hot, and the stalls of the Christmas market, where you can find artisanal objects, decorations, and gift ideas. It's an opportunity for a stroll among the stalls, perhaps with a bag of chestnuts in hand, immersed in a convivial and family atmosphere.
Like all initiatives of the Pro Loco, the Castagnata e Mercatini di Natale is above all a moment for the community: a way to get together, support the association's activities, and accompany Comerio towards the end of the year with the warmth of village festivals.
The Castagnata e Mercatini di Natale in Comerio returns on Sunday, November 8, 2026, organised by the Pro Loco. The day combines the autumn roasted chestnut festival, with the aroma of hot chestnuts, with Christmas markets, featuring stalls of crafts, decorations, and gift ideas. A convivial event that accompanies the town towards the holidays.
The event takes place on a single Sunday. During the day:
