Beer, live music and fireworks on Lake Comabbio
At the beginning of June, Parco Berrini in Ternate, in the province of Varese, hosts one of the most beloved festivals in the local calendar: the Festa della Birra. Organised by Pro Loco Ternate with the patronage of the Municipality, the event combines the conviviality of a village festival with good live music, in an exceptional natural setting overlooking Lake Comabbio.
Every evening, the food stalls open from 7:00 PM, offering dishes designed to accompany the musical evenings and, of course, plenty of beer. It's the classic village festival format, where friends and family gather to dine outdoors and then enjoy the concerts, with tables under the stars and the cool lake air.
The evenings are marked by live music: from rock bands to tribute bands dedicated to the great names of Italian music. The stage hosts energetic bands that get the audience dancing and singing until late at night, with a programme that changes every evening.
The highlight of the festival is the fireworks display that lights up the sky over Lake Comabbio on Saturday evening. A highly anticipated show, which attracts visitors from neighbouring towns and offers one of the most spectacular sights of the Varese summer. The Festa della Birra di Ternate has become a staple for those who want to start the summer season with taste, in one of the most characteristic locations in the area.
The 2026 edition of the Festa della Birra di Ternate takes place from Friday, June 5th to Sunday, June 7th at Parco Berrini, overlooking Lake Comabbio. Three days of beer, food, and live music organised by Pro Loco Ternate with the patronage of the Municipality. Food stalls open every evening from 7:00 PM, and the music programme alternates between rock bands and tribute bands, with the grand fireworks display on Saturday lighting up the lake.
From Friday 5 to Sunday 7 June 2026. Food stalls open from 7:00 PM.
