Misultin Festival

The misultin, an ancient flavour of the Lario

The Misultin Festival is the celebration that in Dervio, a municipality in the Province of Lecco overlooking Lake Como, honours one of the most typical products of the Larian tradition. The misultin is dried agone, lake fish processed and preserved according to ancient methods, a symbol of a fishing culture that has spanned centuries on the Lario.

Lake cuisine at Parco Boldona

The heart of the festival is the zero-km lake cuisine, hosted in the green spaces of Parco Boldona. On the table, misultin with polenta and lake pizzoccheri, alongside other lake specialities. It is a precious opportunity to taste dishes that tell the gastronomic identity of Lake Como, far from the most crowded tourist circuits.

Lucia boats, exhibitions, and markets

The festival is not just about gastronomy: you can take excursions on the typical Lucia boat, the traditional Larian vessel, and visit the exhibition dedicated to fishing on the lake. Over the weekend, the festival is enlivened by craft and antique markets and live music, in a festive atmosphere that involves the entire village.

Traditions of the eastern Lario

Organised by the Pro Loco of Dervio in collaboration with local associations, the Misultin Festival is an event that promotes the traditions of the eastern Lario. For visitors, it is an opportunity to discover an authentic side of Lake Como, made of fishing, simple flavours, and village hospitality.
