Garda Festival 2026: Harmony and Culture between Peschiera and Verona

Peschiera del Garda is set to host the fourth edition of the Garda Festival from July 24th to August 1st, 2026. Centered around the theme “Beyond the Surface,” the festival offers a multidisciplinary journey curated by artistic director Maximilien Seren-Piccinni, bridging international talent with local heritage.

The festival kicks off on July 24th at the Caserma d’Artiglieria di Porta Verona with Jacopo Taddei and Filippo Farinelli. On July 25th, the stage will feature Italian music icon Donatella Rettore, who will be honored with the Cigno del Garda 2026 award, powered by Cantine Vitevis. The program continues with the Musici Piccinniani and Vittorio Benaglia’s evocative “Viola Nocturna.”

The grand finale takes place on August 1st in Verona at the Dall’Abaco Conservatory, featuring the 44th Piccinni Award ceremony honoring director Pier Luigi Pizzi and soprano Elena Moșuc. This celebration of performing arts excellence is further elevated by a new marble award statue created by the Verona Stone District. All events are free of charge, providing a unique opportunity to experience art within historically significant settings.
