The Beautiful Feast of Sant'Abbondanzio

The patronal feast of Cislago

The Festa Bèla is the patronal feast of Cislago, a municipality in the Saronno area of the province of Varese, dedicated to Sant'Abbondanzio. An event that every spring transforms the town center into a large festival space, where the sacred and the profane coexist in the best Lombard tradition of festivals.

Stalls and medieval village

For two days, the center comes alive with stalls, artisans, and food stands, while Piazza Enrico Toti transforms into the 'Camelot Village': a medieval encampment with historical tents, costumed reenactors, and the market of ancient crafts. There are also shows, dance performances, and activities for children, while Parco Castelbarco hosts rides, inflatables, and a funfair.

Faith and tradition

The religious dimension is the heart of the feast: the procession of Sant'Abbondanzio winds through the town and the solemn mass celebrates the patron saint. The Festa Bèla is much more than a local festival: it is an identity moment for the community of Cislago, which gathers every year around its roots, between devotion, tradition, and fun, in this corner of the province of Varese bordering the Milanese area.
