Edition 2025 — Sagra di Ferragosto

In 2025, the Ferragosto and San Rocco Festival extended over several days, from August 9 to 16, enlivening the lakefront and Piazza Imbarcadero with gastronomy, tribute bands, and the grand finale of fireworks on Lake Maggiore on August 16.

The 2025 edition opened on Saturday, August 9th, with the Gnoccata in Piazza (Gnocchi in the Square) and a Queen tribute concert by QueenEssence, continuing on Sunday, August 10th, with risottos, grilled meats, and Latin American dancing with DJ Sirmax and the New Athletic Dance group.

The central days featured lake fish specialties — mixed fried fish, bleak, grilled fish — with the band Effetto VIP on August 14th and the Vasco Rossi tribute by Vaskomplotto on August 15th, preceded by the procession of the Assumption from the Old Port. On Saturday, August 16th, for the Feast of San Rocco, the Palo della Cuccagna on the lake in the afternoon and the grand fireworks display at 10:45 PM closed the festival.
