Three days of festivities and the thousand lights that illuminate Valcuvia
Tris d'Estate is the quintessential summer event of Cuvio, a municipality in Valcuvia, in the province of Varese. Organized by the Pro Loco, it is one of the longest-standing festivals in the area: the 2025 edition was the 66th, a testament to a tradition rooted in the 1950s.
As the name suggests, the "tris" consists of three days of festivities at Parco Pancera: dancing, food, live music, and entertainment alternate from evening until late at night. The food stalls offer traditional dishes, while the stages host orchestras and musical groups that get audiences of all ages dancing.
The highlight of the event is the grand pyrotechnic show "Mille Luci in Valcuvia", which on Saturday evening lights up the sky above the valley. It is one of the most spectacular and anticipated fireworks displays in the province of Varese, drawing thousands of spectators to Cuvio. This tradition, accompanying Tris d'Estate for over forty years, offers an unforgettable finale of lights and colors.
Tris d'Estate is not just about fun; it's an occasion for the entire Valcuvia community and the many summer visitors to gather. The festival, with free admission, reaffirms the central role of the Pro Loco of Cuvio in the social life of the town every year.
The 2026 edition of Tris d'Estate will liven up Parco Pancera in Cuvio from July 31 to August 2. Three days of festivities with dancing, food, live music, and entertainment, continuing a tradition of over sixty years. The highlight remains the grand pyrotechnic show Mille Luci in Valcuvia, which on Saturday evening lights up the valley's sky.
The detailed program with times and musical guests will be published by the Pro Loco of Cuvio closer to the event.
