About Festa della Musica Laveno

As summer arrives, Laveno-Mombello and Cerro fill with music: the Festa della Musica transforms the lakefront, the historic center, and the villages into a large, widespread stage. Saturday kicks off with a big concert in the piazza, and on Sunday, dozens of artists perform simultaneously in picturesque corners and scenic spots overlooking Lake Maggiore, inviting the public to stroll and discover different genres and sounds. A free, itinerant festival, with gastronomy from the Pro Loco overlooking the water.

The music that invades the town

In Laveno-Mombello, in the Province of Varese, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, the Festa della Musica celebrates the arrival of summer with a weekend entirely dedicated to live sounds. The event, organized by the Pro Loco Laveno Mombello Cerro, involves both Laveno and the hamlet of Cerro, transforming them into a large open-air stage.

From the big concert to the widespread festival

The festival opens on Saturday with a major concert in the piazza, which inaugurates the musical weekend. On Sunday, the format changes and becomes itinerant: dozens of artists perform simultaneously along the lakefront, in the historic center, and in the villages, allowing the public to move freely to discover different genres and atmospheres. Previous editions have counted over 30 events in a single day.

Music, lake, and conviviality

The convivial heart of the festival is Piazza Caduti del Lavoro, where the Pro Loco sets up a food stand overlooking the lake, creating a meeting point between performances. The natural setting of Lake Maggiore enhances the charm of an event that combines music, landscape, and social interaction.

A festival open to all

The Festa della Musica is free and open to everyone, and each year it invites musicians, bands, and artists to apply to perform. It is one of the most anticipated events at the beginning of summer on Lake Maggiore, capable of attracting residents and tourists to the Lombardy Region.
