Night of Wishes of Dumenza

The night of the stars in Dumenza

In Dumenza, a village in the upper Val Dumentina perched above Luino in the province of Varese, the night of August 10th has a specific name: the Night of Wishes. It's the night of San Lorenzo, when the summer sky fills with the shooting stars of the Perseids and tradition dictates that you make a wish while looking up. The Pro Loco Dumenza 2.0 takes the opportunity for an outdoor evening, convivial and open to all.

A summer evening under the sky

Far from the light pollution of the cities, Dumenza offers a particularly suitable night sky for observation: the Night of Wishes is designed precisely to enjoy this natural spectacle in company, in a relaxed and family atmosphere. The event is part of a rich summer calendar, which the Pro Loco enlivens with themed festivals throughout the beautiful season.

The Pro Loco Dumenza 2.0 calendar

The Pro Loco Dumenza 2.0 is the engine of the village's social life: in addition to the Night of Wishes, it offers events throughout the year such as the Celtic festival, the Latin festival, the 80s festival, the honey day, the chestnut festival, and Oktoberfest. The Night of Wishes is one of the most poetic moments of this program.

Dumenza and the Val Dumentina

Dumenza is located in a panoramic position above Lake Maggiore, in a mountain territory of woods and trails. Participating in the Night of Wishes is a way to discover this corner of the Luino area in its most authentic dimension, between nature and community tradition.
