Locarno
There’s no doubt that music takes centre stage, but the Food&Music Street has become an unmissable attraction and gets into full swing from 4 pm. When the time comes, I set off for Largo Zorzi, right before Piazza Grande, which is literally taken over by people high on life. It might be because of the expectant diners peeking curiously at the menus displayed by the many food trucks, it might be because of the bunting and lights hanging over the road, or because of the chips (if you love them, you love them and there’s nothing you can do about it!) or the ice cream, but strolling through here as the street begins to fill up and the musicians start to appear on stage in Piazza Grande brings a rush of happiness, particularly when night falls and the fun gets serious.
