Stresa Events 2009 |
|
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 page will be updated during
the season as dates for other events in Stresa are confirmed.
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!
