Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Ascona right now.
The ideals that brought Isadora Duncan here still bring culture to Ascona: every year it hosts a series of excellent jazz and classical music concerts. Almost every day of the summer, the lakefront piazza serves as an open-air stage for entertainment, with mime, theater, and pop bands. Locarno's August film festival is only a cab ride away across the peninsula.

This festival seeks out performers a cut above the standard jazz and swing groups. It attracts an amazing array of international performers to its open-air bandstands for one week in June, as well as winter concerts in various locations hosted by the Jazz Cat Club.
The Settimane Musicali bring in orchestras, chamber groups, and top-ranking soloists to Ascona and Locarno. Events run from late August to mid-October.
