Festa della Birra di Ternate

Summer starts with a beer by the lake

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.

Food stalls and beer for everyone

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.

Live music and tribute bands

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.

Fireworks display on the lake

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.
