From patron saint festivals to major lakeside celebrations, here are the first confirmed dates for 2026. The programme will be updated in the coming weeks as new events are announced.

The season opens in Luino, where on Saturday, June 27 at 11:00 p.m., the sky will light up with the traditional fireworks display held for the celebrations of the Holy Patron Saints SS.
