An identity festival 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 centre 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 centre, local products are purchased with this charming festival currency, which evokes the community spirit of the event. To crown the evening, the Tombola del Fuff, a fun and eagerly awaited moment for 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 blending gastronomy, music, art, and local heritage, the event transforms the historic centre of Gargnano into a large social space, 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 centre of Gargnano (BS), on Lake Garda. The festival will offer gastronomic stops with local products, purchasable with the local FUFFI currency, along with music and art. Among the highlights will be the Tombola del Fuff. An identity event celebrating the roots of the lakeside village.
