Patronal Feast of Saint Martin in Moltrasio
The traditional village fair on Lake Como
About Feast of Saint Martin
Saint Martin, Patron Saint of Moltrasio
Overlooking the waters of Lake Como, the village of Moltrasio, in the Province of Como, celebrates its patron saint Saint Martin with a festival rooted in the 19th century — documented tradition dates back to 1883. Every November, around the 11th, the town gathers for a day that combines religious and popular dimensions.
Solemn Mass and the Fair
The central moment is the solemn Mass, celebrated on a Sunday morning in the presence of the municipal administration and local associations. Immediately after, the traditional fair comes to life, extending along Via Roma and Via Besana, with hobbyist stalls also animating Viale delle Rimembranze and Piazza Umberto Primo.
Flavors, Drawing, and Workshops
The festival is also an occasion for taste: the town's associations offer traditional dishes and some new creations at various food stalls, in the true spirit of the Saint Martin's fair, linked to autumn flavors. The drawing exhibition and the pasta-making workshop are held in the Library, activities that engage both adults and children and enrich the program.
A Tradition of the Larian Village
More than just a fair, the Feast of Saint Martin is the moment when Moltrasio reaffirms its identity as a community, blending faith, craftsmanship, and conviviality. For those visiting Lake Como in autumn, it's an opportunity to discover the authentic soul of a village far from the summer tourist crowds.
