2 – 4 October 2026, City centre
The magic of autumn in Lugano
For three days the heart of the city will come alive with a festival of colours, aromas and traditions linked to the grape harvest. Visitors can go for a stroll through the streets of the old town and try typical food, taste the finest Ticino wines in typical “grottini” and local restaurants, browse the lively market stalls and enjoy some shopping. There will also be traditional music with folk bands, songs and dancing, along with many other activities for the whole family. The 15 Patricians Groups of Lugano will welcome visitors inside the City Hall Courtyard, offering an authentic experience deeply rooted in local tradition.
