Sagra degli Gnocchi a Pognana Lario (Gnocchi Festival at Pognana Lario)

On Sunday, August 16, 2026, Pognana Lario (CO) celebrates one of its most authentic dishes with the Sagra degli Gnocchi, an event that captures the culinary traditions of the Lake Como region. In the charming San Rocco square, the festivities begin at 10:30 with mass in the local church, followed by lunch at 12:00 and dinner at 19:00, where homemade gnocchi will be the undisputed star of the table. Alongside the gnocchi, the menu showcases the genuine flavors of Como cuisine: creamy polenta, smoked sausage, and missoltini—traditionally dried lake fish that represents the gastronomic identity of Lake Como's shores. Each dish is a journey through authentic flavors, prepared with care and passion by the local community. The menu also features fish soups, local cheeses, and traditional desserts, all paired with regional wines. Live music from local artists will set a festive and convivial atmosphere from noon through the end of dinner. Organized by Pro Loco Pognana Lario, this event is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in Lombard culinary traditions and discover the charm of this lakeside village. Those wishing to attend are advised to book in advance, especially for lunch and dinner seatings. Seating is limited to ensure an authentic and quality experience.
