About Intercultural Festival

In June, the small municipality of Lozza, in the province of Varese, opens up to the world with the Intercultural Festival: seven days of free events dedicated to the meeting of cultures. Through conferences, exhibitions, screenings, martial arts, world dances, international food stalls, and live music, the event invites you to discover others and reflect on the value of diversity. A widespread and participatory festival, promoted by the Municipality with the patronage of the Lombardy Region and the Province of Varese.

A festival to discover the other

The Lozza Intercultural Festival is the event that every June transforms the small municipality of Lozza, in the province of Varese, into a meeting place for cultures. For seven days, free events animate the town with a program that combines reflection, art, gastronomy, and entertainment, focused on dialogue and openness towards others.

The theme: Discovery

The 2026 edition revolves around the theme of "Discovery", inspired by the 40th anniversary of the Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded for the discovery of NGF, the protein that guides neuron growth. The festival uses neuroscience as a metaphor: just as neurons need signals to connect and survive, communities grow through encounters with diversity.

A rich and free program

Among the events are the inaugural conference with speakers from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart and the National Autonomous University of Mexico, screenings, exhibitions, literary presentations, oriental martial arts and Korean sword demonstrations, international food stalls, fire-eating shows, world dances, and live music. The festivities conclude with a Mass and the festival's aftermovie. The main venue is the Multifunctional Hall on Via Cesare Battisti. The event is organized by the Municipality of Lozza with the patronage of the Lombardy Region and the Province of Varese.
