Sagra del Cinghiale Selvatico (Wild Boar Festival)

One of the most anticipated events of the Lombardy autumn returns to Caronno Pertusella: the Sagra del Cinghiale Selvatico, which will animate Parco della Resistenza on September 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, and 20, 2026. An event celebrating Lombardy's culinary tradition with wild boar meat as the undisputed star, from appetizers to main courses, in an atmosphere of festivity and conviviality rooted in the region's gastronomic heritage. The 2026 edition will take place inside a modern heated marquee with 500 seats, ensuring maximum comfort for visitors regardless of weather conditions. Reservations are recommended and easily made online to secure a table and enjoy the finest culinary specialties. The menu features the most authentic recipes from Lombardy's tradition: among the first courses, tagliatelle with wild boar ragù, braised pappardelle, and agnolotti filled with game meat stand out. For main courses, guests can enjoy wild boar stew with polenta, smoked brisket, and venison cutlets in salmì sauce, paired with seasonal vegetables. All dishes are prepared according to family recipes passed down through generations, which enhance the savory depth and tenderness of wild boar meat—whose hunting represents a traditional practice in the region dating back to the Middle Ages. Live music every evening will enliven dinners, creating a festive and convivial atmosphere that transports guests to the heart of local traditions. Opening hours are from 7:00 PM to 11:30 PM on weekdays and from 12:00 PM to 11:30 PM on weekends, allowing you to lunch or dine according to your preference. A detail that makes this festival even more special is its charitable character: part of the proceeds will be donated to local associations, transforming an evening of pure gastronomic pleasure into an opportunity for generosity toward the community.
