Europe comes to Lake Como: Bellano hosts the international “Regions of Europe” market
From June 12 to 14, this village on Lake Como will come alive with scents,
crafts, and flavors from around the world: a delegation from
Scotland will be in attendance
The charm of Lake Como meets the most authentic traditions of the Old Continent. From Friday, June 12, to Sunday, June 14, the picturesque village of Bellano will host the latest edition of “Regioni d’Europa,” the renowned traveling exhibition and market that brings the best of international crafts and cuisine to Italy’s most beautiful squares.
For three days, residents and tourists alike will be able to embark on a true sensory journey through dozens of carefully curated booths, offering a blend of culture, folklore, and high-quality street food. The event, which is free to enter, will offer a rich exhibition experience featuring select international exhibitors. The fair will also host a colorful delegation from Scotland, where the magical atmosphere of the North will come to life through its most iconic symbols, such as beer, whiskey, and Harris Tweed.
Food lovers and curious visitors alike can immerse themselves in Scotland’s extraordinary specialties. You’ll be able to sample and purchase the famous shortbread cookies, traditional fluffy pastries, and the ever-present haggis. For connoisseurs of fine drinks, there will be an exclusive selection of Scottish craft beers and, of course, renowned, top-quality whiskies, available both for tasting on-site and in elegant collectible bottles. But the Scottish stand will be more than just about taste: ample space will be dedicated to authentic crafts, with a rich display of pure cashmere garments, the famous Harris Tweed fabrics, kilts, hats, and matching tartan accessories—perfect for taking home a piece of British history.
“Regions of Europe” isn’t just about Scotland, though: as you stroll through Bellano, you’ll discover a variety of specialties from around the world, including Spanish paella, American smash burgers, Tuscan grilled meats, Brazilian barbecue, a Cuban cocktail bar, Argentine grilled meats, Dutch crepes, and much more. Of course, there will also be traditional products from Italian regions and creations by artisans from every corner of Europe, all set against a unique scenic backdrop that combines the event’s energy with the relaxing beauty of the lake.
The event will take place in Bellano from June 12 to 14, from 9:00 a.m. until late in the evening. An unmissable opportunity to enjoy a weekend dedicated to integration, quality shopping, and fun
for the whole family. “Regions of Europe” is a well-established project organized by
Apeca, Prisma, and the Confcommercio Union of Milan, Lodi, Monza, and Brianza in
Italy’s most important cities.
