About Fish Festival

The Melegnano Fish Festival is the grand gastronomic event that, between late May and early June, brings the flavors of the sea to the heart of southern Milan. In the Municipality of Melegnano, in the Province of Milan, a covered structure with over a thousand seats welcomes visitors for two weekends of fish specialties - from mixed fried fish to seafood linguine - accompanied by a rich program of shows, comedy, and tribute concerts. With free admission and seat reservation, the festival combines good food, entertainment, and a strong commitment to solidarity.

The Melegnano Fish Festival: the sea in southern Milan

Although Melegnano is far from the coast, every year between late May and early June, the Municipality in the Province of Milan transforms into the seafood capital of the region. The Fish Festival is an anticipated event that draws thousands of visitors with its wide gastronomic offer and its entertainment program.

A thousand seats under cover

The strength of the organization is the large covered structure in Via Lazio, with over a thousand seats: a solution that guarantees comfort and continuity even in case of bad weather. Here you can enjoy the festival's fish specialties, including:

  • mixed fried fish
  • seafood linguine
  • numerous other seafood dishes

Shows and concerts

The Fish Festival is not just about food: every evening is enlivened by a packed entertainment schedule, with comedy acts, magic shows, and live concerts, including performances by tribute bands dedicated to great Italian music artists. A program designed to accompany dinner and turn the evening into a true celebration.

A festival of solidarity

In addition to taste and fun, the event stands out for its commitment to solidarity: part of the initiative is dedicated to fundraising and donations for the local community. For Melegnano and all of southern Milan, the Fish Festival is now an early summer classic, capable of combining conviviality, entertainment, and generosity.
