The Autumn Festival brings the customs, flavors, and traditional crafts of Ticino to Ascona’s lakeside. Visitors can sample regional specialties, watch artisans demonstrate time-honored skills, and explore a market filled with handmade products and local food.
Chestnuts are at the heart of the celebration, served in a variety of ways and reflecting their long-standing place in the region’s culture. Set against Lake Maggiore, the festival offers a welcoming introduction to Ticino’s heritage and community traditions.
