The food and wine festival celebrating the Lazzate potato
The Sagra della Patata di Lazzate is one of the most well-known events in the Brianza calendar. Organised by the Associazione Borgo in Festa in the historic village of Lazzate, a municipality in the province of Monza and Brianza, it takes place every year in September and has surpassed twenty editions.
The festival celebrates a product deeply linked to the town: according to local tradition, potato cultivation in Lazzate dates back to the late eighteenth century. To enhance this heritage, the Municipality is working on obtaining DeCO (Denominazione Comunale d'Origine - Municipal Designation of Origin) recognition for the Lazzate potato, a process that makes the most recent editions of the festival even more significant.
The heart of the event is the large restaurant, which opens for dinner and, on some days, also for lunch, with table service and reservations. Every evening there is a musical offering, from DJ sets to cover bands, to shows with majorettes and bands. The festival is made possible by the network of local associations, which have always collaborated in its organisation.
For 2026, the Sagra della Patata di Lazzate confirms its established format: a restaurant with traditional dishes, musical evenings, and the network of local associations. This edition holds particular value as it is linked to the path initiated by the Municipality to obtain DeCO (Denominazione Comunale d'Origine - Municipal Designation of Origin) for the Lazzate potato. The exact dates and program will be published by the Associazione Borgo in Festa on the official website closer to the event.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition (days, menus, and musical evenings) will be published by the Associazione Borgo in Festa on the official website in the weeks preceding the festival.
