Events in Como and on the lake: the page we keep updated
Last updated: 10 October 2026
Here we collect the events in Como and on Lake Como that we have written about on the Easy Housing blog. It is not a complete calendar and not a news service: we add an event only after checking it against official sources and writing a guide about it. Before you set off, always check the organiser’s website, and if you are travelling by boat, the seasonal boat timetables too.
