About Saint Roch Festival

The Saint Roch Festival is the celebration that enlivens Campagnano every year, a hamlet of Maccagno con Pino e Veddasca overlooking Lake Maggiore, in the province of Varese. Three days of typical gastronomy, music, and religious moments in the charming panoramic square next to the church of San Rocco. Organized by the Friends of Campagnano together with the Pro Loco and the Municipality, it is a mid-August event that combines devotion, flavors, and conviviality in a mountain corner above the lake.

The Campagnano Festival

The Saint Roch Festival is the most anticipated event of the summer in Campagnano, a hamlet of Maccagno con Pino e Veddasca suspended between the mountains and Lake Maggiore, in the province of Varese. For three days, the small community gathers around the church of San Rocco and its panoramic square to celebrate the saint and share an authentic festival.

Gastronomy, Music, and Devotion

The festival combines the three souls of village festivals: typical gastronomy, with stands offering local traditional dishes; music and entertainment that liven up the evenings; and religious moments dedicated to Saint Roch, a protector invoked for centuries. All this in a natural setting of rare beauty, with views opening onto Lake Maggiore.

A Corner to Discover

Campagnano is one of those mountain hamlets that preserve the genuine charm of the Varese hinterland. Reaching the festival also means discovering a panoramic viewpoint and a village with a collected atmosphere, far from the large tourist flows, where the celebration retains the flavor of old traditions.

A Community Festival

Organized by the Friends of Campagnano together with the Pro Loco Maccagno and the Municipality, the Saint Roch Festival is an event that arises from the grassroots, from the commitment of volunteers and the attachment of the inhabitants to their village. A mid-August event that, year after year, renews the bond between the hamlet of Campagnano, its saint, and the Lake Maggiore territory in the province of Varese.
