About Sagra della Paella e Sangria

For two weekends at the end of August, Bodio Lomnago is tinged with the colours of Spain. In Piazza Benemerita Arma dei Carabinieri, the Pro Loco prepares Valencian paella on the spot and fresh sangria, accompanied each evening by live music. This sagra (traditional festival), now in its 23rd edition, is festive and welcoming, in the Municipality overlooking Lake Varese, in the Province of Varese.

A corner of Spain by the lake

The Sagra della Paella e Sangria is the summer festival that for over twenty years has brought the flavours of Spain to Bodio Lomnago, a Municipality in the Province of Varese overlooking Lake Varese. For two weekends, the Piazza Benemerita Arma dei Carabinieri, in the centre of the village, becomes the heart of a colourful and convivial sagra.

Paella and sangria take centre stage

The main attraction is the Valencian paella, prepared on the spot in large pans, accompanied by fresh sangria. A combination that has won over the public and makes the sagra an eagerly awaited event of the Varese summer. The catering is managed by the Pro Loco, with tables and covered seating available, allowing participation even in case of bad weather, without the need for reservations.

Music and community spirit

Every evening, the square comes alive with live music, creating a festive and welcoming atmosphere. Organized by the Pro Loco Pro Bodio Lomnago, the sagra is much more than a gastronomic festival: it is an occasion for promoting the territory that combines tradition, food culture, and community spirit, confirming itself as one of the most attended events in the local summer calendar.
