Detailed itinerary

If you book on saturday 28th June 2025, you can admire the San Giovanni Fireworks on Comacina Island, one of the most spectacular events on Lake Como. This tradition, held every year at the end of June to celebrate the feast of St. John the Baptist, attracts thousands of visitors.

The celebration has ancient roots, dating back to medieval times when Comacina Island was an important religious and political center. The festival commemorates the destruction of the island in 1169 by the people of Como, supported by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. According to tradition, the event takes place on the Saturday closest to June 24, the day dedicated to St. John the Baptist.

The highlight of the evening is the fireworks display, which transforms the sky above the lake into a riot of colors and lights.

The San Giovanni Fireworks on Comacina Island are not just a visual spectacle, but represent a moment of gathering and celebration of the history and traditions of Lake Como.
