There is a carnival here that does not wait for spring. In Torri del Benaco it arrives in early September, as the season on the lake winds down: an afternoon of games for children, a masked parade through the streets at night, and fireworks to see the summer off. Its roots lie in the carnival of Verona.
On 1 and 2 August 2026, Piazza Feltrinelli in Gargnano hosts the Festa dell’Ospite, the town’s summer welcome to residents and visitors alike. Expect food stalls with regional specialities, local craft markets and live music across both evenings, and on the Saturday night a drone light show over the water, billed as the first of its kind on the lake.
