Colours, scents, delights and unique emotions. Lake Garda is a much sought-after tourist destination especially in summer, but actually it hosts a wide range of events during all 12 months of the year, where nature, culture, cuisine and traditions come together to offer a variety of entertainment like nowhere else.
September, in particular, marks the end of the summer holidays with the return of the locals and the beginning of a period full of events and activities to join!
Sport, music, art, food & wine, indoor and outdoor events. Thanks to the mild climate in September, you can enjoy beautiful days in the open air and various entertainment options around the lake.
