About Summer Kick-off Festival
Summer Begins in Calmasino
The Calmasino Summer Kick-off Festival is the event with which the hamlet of Calmasino di Bardolino, in the province of Verona, welcomes the arrival of the warm season. In Piazzetta San Gervaso, two dancing evenings with music, DJ sets, and food stalls follow one another, in a popular and family-friendly atmosphere typical of Garda village festivals.
Music and Dancing Under the Stars
The heart of the festival lies in the dancing evenings: DJs and dance orchestras accompany the public until late at night, in the open-air piazza. It's an opportunity to gather, dance, and experience the convivial atmosphere of a community celebrating the start of summer together.
Flavors of the Festival
The food stalls offer festival classics: first courses, stuffed sandwiches, and porchetta, to be enjoyed between dances. The event, organized by the Bardolino TOP Foundation, confirms the vibrancy of the summer calendar in Bardolino and its hamlets, on the Veronese side of Lake Garda.
