Sagra della Zucca (Zuccagnata)

The 2025 edition of the Sagra della Zucca (Zuccagnata) in Osmate took place from September 27 to October 5, over two weekends, in the festival area of Parco di Osmate. Organized by the Pro Loco of Osmate, it featured food stalls for lunch and dinner, with a special lunch for over-70s on the first Saturday. The evenings featured live music from Ale Ruspini Band (September 27) and Monkey Scream (October 4); the programme included free bouncy castles for children, an artisan market, games, the awarding of scholarships, and roasted chestnuts. A well-attended autumn festival with free admission, a symbol of the conviviality of the small Varese village.
