The timeless charm of puppetry returns to the spotlight with the twenty-ninth edition of “L’Òra dei burattini”. From July 27th to August 12th, the festival transforms the squares and parks of Riva del Garda and Arco into open-air stages, celebrating an art form that captivates audiences of all ages.

The festival’s name evokes the ‘Òra’, the famous breeze that sweeps across the shores of Lake Garda, bringing a sense of movement and lightness. The program features a rich calendar of performances, creative workshops, and festivities, where puppets, clowns, and jugglers engage with the public in an atmosphere of joyful participation. Among the scheduled events, the performance on August 3rd in Massone stands out, featuring the Teatro medico ipnotico company with their show “Il cane infernale”.
