A festival of identity in the lakeside village, with the local currency FUFFI
Cara Vecchia Gargnano is the street festival that celebrates the identity of the lakeside village of Gargnano, in the province of Brescia, on the western shore of Lake Garda. An evening when the historic center comes alive to rediscover the roots and traditions of this charming village overlooking the water.
The most curious and distinctive feature of the festival is the local currency FUFFI: at the gastronomic stops spread throughout the center, local products are purchased with this charming festival currency, which evokes the community spirit of the event. To top off the evening, the Tombola del Fuff, a lighthearted moment eagerly awaited by the people of Gargnano.
Cara Vecchia Gargnano is a strongly identity-driven event, capable of attracting residents and visitors in an atmosphere of celebration and conviviality. By intertwining gastronomy, music, art, and local memory, the event transforms the historic center of Gargnano into a large space for social interaction, confirming itself as one of the most cherished events of the summer on the Brescia side of Lake Garda.
The 2026 edition of Cara Vecchia Gargnano will be held on July 5, 2026, from 7:00 PM in the historic center of Gargnano (BS), on Lake Garda. The festival will feature gastronomic stops with local products, purchasable with the local FUFFI currency, music, and art. Among the highlights is the Tombola del Fuff.
