About Saint Anne Festival

For almost a month, between July and August, the small Municipality of Albiolo, in the Olgiatese area of the province of Como, lives to the rhythm of the Saint Anne Festival. The funfair lights up in Piazza Mercato, while the patronal feast, with stalls and community gatherings, comes alive on the last weekend of July, culminating in the traditional Saturday evening fireworks display. It's the summer event that brings together the inhabitants of the town and surrounding areas in one of the most cherished festivals in the border region of Como.

A feast lasting almost a month

Albiolo, a Municipality in the Olgiatese area of the province of Como, dedicates its summer festival to Saint Anne. The event is distinguished by its duration: the funfair remains set up in Piazza Mercato, along Via San Francesco, for several weeks, offering children a meeting point throughout the summer.

The heart of the festival

The highlight falls on the last weekend of July, coinciding with the feast day of Saint Anne. This is when the town comes alive with stalls, stands, and community initiatives, leading up to the traditional fireworks display on Saturday evening, which illuminates the sky of the upper Como province.

An identity-bound celebration

Organized with the support of the Municipality of Albiolo, the Saint Anne Festival is more than just a town festival: it is an event that strengthens the bond between the inhabitants and their roots, in a corner of Lombardy close to the Swiss border. For those visiting the lakes region and the Olgiatese area, it is an opportunity to discover the authenticity of Lombardy's patronal traditions.
