Fishermen’s Festival: memory and tradition in Brenzone sul Garda

On October 4th, the community of Brenzone sul Garda gathers to celebrate the Fishermen’s Festival, an event that weaves together faith, history, and a deep bond with the lake. This occasion commemorates the historic 1955 explosion on Trimelone Island, transforming remembrance into a moment of collective unity.

The day begins at 10:00 AM at the Assenza pier, where participants will board the historic sailing ship Circe 1915. Private boats are also encouraged to join the procession, creating a poignant and evocative journey towards the waters facing the island. Here, before the statue of Saint Barbara, a Holy Mass will be held—a ritual that gains a unique spiritual dimension suspended between the sky and the water.

Upon returning, the celebration continues in Piazza San Nicolò with a convivial lunch. The menu, inspired by the simplicity of local traditions, features fish pasta, tomato pasta, and bruschetta. Musical entertainment will accompany the afternoon, offering a chance to rediscover the roots of this village that looks to the past with respect and gratitude. We invite you to be part of this authentic experience, where time seems to stand still to honor the identity of a land inextricably linked to its lacustrine history.
