Edition 2025 — Festival of Saint John
In 2025, the Festival of Saint John renewed the centuries-old tradition of Comacina Island, with the evening fireworks display, the "lumaghitt" lights, and the historic boat procession. Thousands of spectators gathered along the shores of Lake Como, between Argegno and Tremezzina, for one of the most evocative events of the Larian summer season.
The 2025 edition of the Festival of Saint John confirmed the timeless charm of one of the oldest festivals on Lake Como.
The evening fireworks display on Comacina Island, the characteristic "lumaghitt" lights, and the sacred boat procession attracted a large audience along the lake shores. The festival, which combines devotion to Saint John the Baptist with the memory of the island's destruction in 1169, reaffirmed its role as an identity event for the central lake municipalities.
