Summer on Lake Maggiore with illuminated fountains, water shows, and drones
Now in its third year, Baveno and Feriolo Enchanted – Lights, Colors, Emotions is the major summer festival that the Municipality of Baveno, in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (Piedmont), dedicates to its lakefront. From June 13 to August 23, 2026, the lakefronts of Baveno and the hamlet of Feriolo become a natural stage where water, light, and music merge into evening shows designed to amaze residents and tourists of Lake Maggiore.
The season opens in Feriolo, where every evening at 9:45 PM, in front of the Church of San Carlo, a striking holographic fountain comes to life: a veil of misted water about 40 meters wide becomes an invisible screen upon which 3D images, colored lights, and videos are projected, creating dancing figures in the air. The grand finale of this first phase is scheduled for July 10, 2026, with a spectacular drone show illuminating the lake sky with aerial choreography.
From July 11, the heart of the event moves to the Baveno lakefront, where the illuminated musical fountains return on an expanded front of about 50 meters. Three shows are scheduled every evening at 9:30 PM, 10:00 PM, and 10:30 PM, featuring water features, colored lights, and music that transform the shore into an emotional performance.
The calendar is enriched by dedicated events. On August 10, for the Night of San Lorenzo, an evening of music is planned with a concert on the water. There is also space for local gastronomy with the famous risottos prepared by chef Marco Sacco, moments of conviviality that highlight the flavors of Lake Maggiore. The festival closes on August 23 with a grand finale of lights, fountains, and drones.
Admission to all Baveno and Feriolo Enchanted shows is free, making the festival one of the most beloved summer offerings on Lake Maggiore and a perfect opportunity to discover Baveno, Feriolo, and the entire Verbano-Cusio-Ossola district.
The 2026 festival is divided into two phases. In Feriolo, from June 13 to July 10, the holographic fountain performs every evening at 9:45 PM in front of the Church of San Carlo, with 3D projections on a water screen of about 40 meters; on July 10, a grand finale with a drone show. In Baveno, from July 11 to August 23, the illuminated musical fountains extend over about 50 meters with three evening shows at 9:30 PM, 10:00 PM, and 10:30 PM.
Special events include: the musical evening on August 10 for the Night of San Lorenzo, the risottos by chef Marco Sacco, and the grand finale of lights, fountains, and drones on August 23. Free admission.
