Sagra del Pesce di Alserio

A festival born with the Pro Loco

In Alserio, a municipality in the province of Como overlooking the lake of the same name in Brianza, the Sagra del Pesce is a true institution: it is the festival with which the Pro Loco of Alserio itself was founded in 1966. A tradition that has lasted for over fifty years and has lake fish as its undisputed protagonist.

The flavours of the lake on the table

The festival menu is a tribute to Brianza lake cuisine: penne with lake ragù, fish in carpione, bleak and mixed fried lake fish, baked salmon trout and baked lake fish. A gastronomic choice that, a stone's throw from the shores of Alserio, enhances local produce and traditional recipes.

A tradition that restarts from its origins

After a setback, the Sagra del Pesce was restored by the Pro Loco of Alserio, which chose to bring it back to its roots with a menu entirely dedicated to lake fish. A return that testifies how deeply rooted this festival is in the identity of the town.

Lake Brianza to discover

For those visiting the Brianza lakes area, the Sagra del Pesce is an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the province of Como, where lake cuisine tells centuries of life on the shores of Alserio.
