Sagra del Pesce

Fish takes centre stage in Montano Lucino

At the Fiera Area in Montano Lucino, a municipality just west of Como, in the Province of Como, the Sagra del Pesce is an eagerly awaited event at the start of summer. Organised by the town's Folk Group, the festival brings fried dishes and fish specialities to the table in an atmosphere of popular celebration.

A tradition spanning almost thirty years

Now in its twenty-eighth edition and beyond, the Sagra del Pesce is one of the most established events on Montano Lucino's calendar. The cuisine features the great classics of seafood gastronomy—mixed fried dishes, fish platters—prepared by the volunteers of the Folk Group, guardians of the town's convivial tradition.

Music and ballroom dancing

The festival is not just about food: the evenings are enlivened by live music and traditional ballroom dancing, which from 9 PM transforms the Fiera Area into an open-air dance floor. It is the most popular and festive soul of the event, capable of attracting enthusiasts of all ages.

A community festival

More than a gastronomic event, the Sagra del Pesce is a meeting point for the community of Montano Lucino and visitors from the Como area. The combination of good food, music, and dancing makes it one of the most beloved summer festivals, an authentic expression of Lombard conviviality.
