Sagra del Gorgonzola a Lomello (Gorgonzola Festival in Lomello)

One of the most eagerly awaited events of the Lombard gastronomic summer returns to Lomello in the province of Pavia: the Sagra del Gorgonzola. From August 28-30, 2026, the festive grounds on Via Ugo Foscolo will transform into a temple dedicated to the celebrated blue-veined cheese. Three days celebrating fine food and cheesemaking tradition, with evening service starting at 7:00 PM and Sunday lunch service as well, allowing everyone to savor the specialties of local cuisine. The festival's gastronomic stand will offer dishes that blend Pavese tradition with quality ingredients: creamy risottos, grilled meats, and appetizing cheeses will frame the true star of the celebration—DOP Gorgonzola, an exceptional cheese showcased in all its variants and characteristics. This festival has deep roots in local history, when it was known as Sagra dal Strachin, a Pavese dialect term referring to both stracchino and gorgonzola cheese itself. The event, organized with dedication by the Pro Loco of Lomello, represents a perfect opportunity to discover the culinary treasures of the Pavia region and enjoy three evenings of conviviality and authentic Lombard flavor. Throughout the festival, musical and cultural entertainment will enliven the evenings, creating a festive and welcoming atmosphere for families and food-and-wine enthusiasts alike. The festive grounds feature ample parking and facilities accessible to visitors with disabilities. For detailed menus, pricing, and reservations, we recommend contacting the Pro Loco of Lomello directly.
