About Castagnata e Mercatini di Natale

The Castagnata e Mercatini di Natale (Roasted Chestnuts and Christmas Markets) of Comerio, in the province of Varese, is the autumn event with which the Pro Loco (local tourism board) accompanies the town towards the holidays. Amidst the aroma of roasted chestnuts and the stalls of the Christmas market, it is a day of celebration designed for gathering with friends, discovering artisanal gift ideas, and enjoying the flavours of the season. A simple and welcoming event, in the spirit of village festivals, that brings the magic of Christmas to Comerio at the first signs of winter.

Autumn and Christmas meet 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.

Roasted Chestnuts and Gift Ideas

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.

A Community Celebration

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.
