About Saint Clement Festival

At the end of November, Alserio – a small municipality overlooking the lake of the same name in the province of Como – celebrates its patron saint, Saint Clement. It is the festival that closes the year and brings the community together: the solemn Sunday Mass, the blessing of cars, the distribution of blessed bread, and cultural and convivial moments organized jointly by the Municipality, the Parish, the Pro Loco, and the Municipal Library. An authentic patronal feast, in the heart of the Como Brianza region and its lakes.

Saint Clement, patron saint of Alserio

Alserio, a municipality in the province of Como overlooking the small and picturesque Lake Alserio, in the heart of the Como Brianza region, has Saint Clement as its patron saint, whose liturgical feast day falls on November 23rd. Around this date, the town gathers for its patronal feast, traditionally celebrated on the closest weekend.

Between faith and community

The central moment is the solemn Sunday Mass, followed by the blessing of cars and the distribution of blessed bread to the citizens, traditional gestures that strengthen the sense of belonging. The festival is organized in collaboration between the Municipality of Alserio, the Parish of Saint Clement, the Pro Loco, and the Municipal Library.

Culture and conviviality

Alongside religious events, the festival offers cultural and entertainment moments at the Multipurpose Structure, with evenings dedicated to Brianza traditions and civic awards. It is an occasion for the entire community of Alserio to come together.

A lakeside village to discover

For those visiting the area, Alserio and its lake offer a tranquil and natural corner of the province of Como, far from the mass tourism of Lake Como. The Saint Clement festival is the ideal time to discover the genuine soul of this Brianza village.
