Wild Boar Festival

Wild Boar Feast on Lake Maggiore

The Wild Boar Festival is one of the most characteristic gastronomic events in Brezzo di Bedero, a municipality in the Province of Varese overlooking Lake Maggiore, in Lombardy. The event takes place along Via Baumgartner and is promoted by the Pro Loco in collaboration with the hunting team La Valtravaglia, over three days dedicated to the strong flavors of tradition.

Wild Boar Dishes

The absolute protagonist is the wild boar, cooked according to local recipes and offered in a variety of rustic and flavorful dishes: from pasta with ragù to polenta with stew, to wild boar hamburgers. A bold gastronomic proposal that tells of the village's connection with hunting and mountain cuisine.

Music and Conviviality

The festival is not just about gastronomy: every evening the atmosphere is enlivened by DJ sets and music, in a convivial climate that attracts families, friends, and visitors. The stands are open for dinner and, on weekend days, also for lunch, offering the opportunity to enjoy the flavors of wild boar in the suggestive setting of Lake Maggiore.

A Tradition of Lombardy's Verbano

With its popular and genuine character, the Brezzo di Bedero Wild Boar Festival is a small gem of the Varesotto summer festivals. An opportunity to discover a lakeside village and experience the typical conviviality of Lombard festivals, with authentic flavors and the welcome of the local Pro Loco.
