About Sagra del Cinghiale

When autumn arrives, the historic centre of Castelmarte lights up for La Vera Sagra del Cinghiale, one of the most delicious festivals in the Triangolo Lariano. Organised by Pro Loco and the Municipality of Castelmarte, the festival offers dishes based on wild boar cooked according to Lombard tradition, accompanied by children's games, shows, folklore and free tastings of local products. A day of authentic celebration, with free admission, which attracts food lovers and families from all over the province of Como.

The most delicious festival in the Triangolo Lariano

In the heart of the Triangolo Lariano, between the Como and Lecco branches of Lake Como, the small village of Castelmarte, in the province of Como, dedicates one of its most anticipated days to an undisputed star of mountain cuisine: wild boar. La Vera Sagra del Cinghiale transforms the historic centre into a widespread celebration, with the oratory kitchen offering traditional Lombard dishes.

The flavours of wild boar and Lombard cuisine

The menu is the true heart of the festival: wild boar ragù, polenta, stew, and other typical specialities, prepared according to old recipes. Around the table, the convivial atmosphere that makes Lombard festivals an unmissable autumn event is created, when the villages of the Larian Triangle celebrate the fruits of the season and the products of the forest.

Games, folklore and shows for everyone

The festival is not just about gastronomy. The programme includes traditional wooden games, free bouncy castles for children, puppet shows, folklore moments with local groups, magic shows, and a free tasting of local products. A programme designed for families, making the festival an occasion for celebration for all ages.

An event promoted by the territory

The event is organised by the Pro Loco of Castelmarte together with the Municipality, with the support of the regional call Lombardia Style, and is entirely free to enter. A virtuous example of how the small communities of the Larian Triangle know how to enhance their traditions and their historic centre.
