One of the most popular festivals in the Como area, combining faith, food, and tradition
In Bulgarograsso, a town in the Brianza area of Como province, the Sagra di Sant'Anna is the summer event. Dedicated to Saint Anne โ whose liturgical feast day is July 26th โ the festival has been running for decades and attracts thousands of visitors from surrounding towns every year, making it one of the most popular festivals in the Como region.
The event intertwines two aspects. On one hand, the religious aspect, with the Votive Mass of Saint Anne, the procession with the statue of the saint departing from Piazza Risorgimento, and the celebrations in the parish church. On the other hand, the popular aspect, marked by the renowned cuisine and bar of the "Amici di Sant'Anna", evenings of music and dancing, games for children, performances, and the traditional fireworks displays that conclude the main days.
Lasting several days and organized by volunteers from Amici di Sant'Anna, the festival is much more than a village fair: it is a moment of identity for Bulgarograsso and the entire area, capable of bringing together devotion, conviviality, and good Como cuisine over several days in July.
The Sagra di Sant'Anna 2026 will be held as tradition dictates in July in Bulgarograsso, Province of Como. The precise dates for the edition will be communicated by the organizers on the website sagradisantanna.it.
