About Chestnut Festival of Longone
Autumn Chestnut Festivals in Longone al Segrino
When autumn arrives, Longone al Segrino — a small municipality in the province of Como overlooking the small and picturesque Lake Segrino — fills with the aroma of roasted chestnuts. The Pro Loco organizes the traditional Chestnut Festival, spread over several Sundays in October, which for decades has been one of the community's most cherished events.
Roasted Chestnuts, Sausages, and Mulled Wine
The heart of the festival is the chestnuts roasted over a fire, accompanied by sausage sandwiches and mulled wine that warms the autumn afternoons. Families and visitors gather around the roasted chestnut stand, in a village festival atmosphere of music, games, and conviviality. The chestnut festivals take place in Piazza Sant'Anna and the Lido del Lago del Segrino area.
A Long Larian Tradition
The event has a long history: the 41st edition was held in 2019, a sign of continuity that makes it an autumn classic in the Triangolo Lariano. For the Municipality of Longone al Segrino and the Province of Como, the chestnut festivals are an opportunity to experience the village and its lake in the season of red leaves.
