Edition 2025 — San Rocco Festival

In 2025, the San Rocco Festival celebrated the patron saint of Porlezza on August 16th, with the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary on Sasso di Palo, the horizontal pole game on the lake, and fireworks on Lake Ceresio, continuing a tradition dating back to 1854.

In 2025, the San Rocco Festival renewed the most cherished celebration in Porlezza. On August 16th, the community gathered for the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of San Rocco on Sasso di Palo and for the popular traditions that characterize the event.

The horizontal pole game on the lake, the night concert by the philharmonic band, and the fireworks on Lake Ceresio confirmed the festival's strong roots in the town's identity, on the shores of Lake Lugano in the province of Como.
