Strong flavors and tradition on Lake Maggiore in Brezzo di Bedero
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.
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.
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.
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.
The 2026 Wild Boar Festival of Brezzo di Bedero is scheduled for June, along Via Baumgartner. The event, promoted by the Pro Loco with the hunting team La Valtravaglia, will feature traditional wild boar dishes for three days — ragù, polenta with stew, hamburgers — accompanied by music and DJ sets. The stands will be open for dinner and, on weekends, also for lunch. The exact dates will be announced by the Pro Loco closer to the event.
