Lazzate Potato Festival
The food and wine festival celebrating the Lazzate potato
About Potato Festival
A festival with over twenty years of history
The Lazzate Potato Festival is one of the most well-known events in the Brianza calendar. Organized by the 'Borgo in Festa' Association in the historic village of Lazzate, a municipality in the province of Monza and Brianza, it takes place every year in September and has surpassed twenty editions.
The Lazzate potato
The festival celebrates a product deeply linked to the town: according to local tradition, potato cultivation in Lazzate dates back to the late 18th century. To enhance this heritage, the Municipality is working towards the recognition of DeCO (Municipal Denomination of Origin) for the Lazzate potato, a process that makes the most recent editions of the festival even more significant.
Cuisine, music, and associations
The heart of the event is the large restaurant, which opens for dinner and, on some days, also for lunch, with table service and reservations. Every evening features a musical performance, from DJ sets to cover bands, to shows with majorettes and a band. The festival is made possible by the network of local associations, which have always collaborated in its organization.
Potato Festival — edition 2026
For 2026, the Lazzate Potato Festival confirms its established format: a restaurant with traditional dishes, musical evenings, and the network of local associations. This edition holds particular value as it aligns with the Municipality's initiative to obtain DeCO (Municipal Denomination of Origin) for the Lazzate potato. The exact dates and program will be published by the 'Borgo in Festa' Association on the official website closer to the event.
