- Location: Garda
In Garda, the event calendar always makes room for its most genuine traditions, those deeply rooted in a past of spontaneous conviviality. Among these, the Senturel Festival stands out, an annual gathering that, while not sacred, celebrates the spirit of community and the joy of togetherness. It takes place the day after the solemn celebrations dedicated to the Madonna della Cintura.
Legend has it that this custom originated many years ago, almost by chance, from the ingenuity and desire of those who had just participated in the Marian festivities to extend their celebrations. After mass, the local taverns became the vibrant heart of the town, a continuous coming and going where stories and laughter mingled with good wine. Nights were spent with toasts and camaraderie, and in the morning, as the dawn painted the lake shores pink, they would gather again, ready to continue.

It was in this lively context that the idea of a bocce game took shape, winding its way through the village streets, with strategic stops at every tavern. A playful and gastronomic journey, where the game merged with the discovery of local flavours and meeting new people.
Even today, this tradition thrives with undiminished enthusiasm. Along the picturesque streets of Garda, residents and visitors alike can immerse themselves in this “great playful and folkloristic” bocce event, a unique opportunity to savour the authenticity of a village that knows how to keep its roots alive. It is an invitation to participate, to be carried away by the slow, joyful rhythm of an ancient game, rediscovering the value of companionship and the beauty of a simple gesture, yet rich in history. The Senturel Festival is a small, precious fragment of the lakeside soul, an’experience that imprints itself on memory with its relaxed and authentic atmosphere.
