Saint Lawrence Festival on the Mountains of Montemezzo

Saint Lawrence at High Altitude

In the municipality of Montemezzo, in the Province of Como, overlooking the upper Lake Como, mid-August nights are illuminated by the Saint Lawrence Festival. The event takes place on the mountains of Montemezzo, in honor of the saint celebrated on August 10th, in a natural setting that makes its altitude and panorama its distinctive feature.

Between Faith and Conviviality

The festival combines the religious dimension with conviviality. Organized by the Pro Loco Montemezzo together with the parish, it offers moments of devotion — including mass — alongside festive events. The aperitif and dinner, served from late afternoon, kick off the evenings, while the evening concert accompanies the conviviality under the starry summer sky.

The Mountain Becomes a Festival

Experiencing the Saint Lawrence Festival means ascending the mountains of Montemezzo and discovering an authentic corner of Alto Lario, far from the major tourist flows of the lake. The event, deeply linked to the community's identity, is an opportunity to gather outdoors, among pastures and woods, on warm August nights.

A Village Tradition

Both a village and a mountain festival, the celebration of Saint Lawrence preserves the spirit of a community that makes conviviality and the bond with its territory its founding values. A simple and genuine event, which every summer renews the link between Montemezzo, its mountains, and its saint.
