| Stresa Events 2010 | |||
|
During the Spring and Summer, Stresa has a full programme of events including free classical concerts, the Stresa Festival, Stresa Jazz Club concerts, Jazz Ascona in Stresa, The Sound of America Honour Band and Chorus and local festivals with al fresco cooking! This list is not exhaustive as many dates have yet to be confirmed and we will be updating and adding to the page during the season.
At local festivals and events serving food the usual practice is to pay at the cash desk and then queue at the food counter and bar for your food and drinks. You can always have a wander along to the food counter to help you decide what you would like. The menu is on a poster by the cash desk. Then find yourself a place at the long trestle tables and enjoy! These are often great local events and you eat and drink very well!
