Celtic Days – Lago d'Idro

The Celts return to Lake Idro

Celtic Days is one of the most evocative events of the summer on Lake Idro, in the province of Brescia. Parco Idrogym, in the Crone hamlet of the Municipality of Idro, transforms for four days into an authentic Celtic village, dedicated to the historical reenactment of Northern European peoples. A dive into the past that combines historical accuracy and spectacle, capable of captivating adults and children.

Reenactment, camps, and battles

The heart of the event is the historical reenactments, curated by volunteers from the Confraternita del Leone (Brotherhood of the Lion): about a hundred re-enactors take turns offering visitors an immersive experience, with camps, ancient crafts, battles, and conferences. The highlight is the Battle of the Lake, the spectacular clash between local Celtic tribes and the legions of the Roman Empire, which concludes the event.

Music, crafts, and Celtic flavors

Every evening, the festival features concerts and shows with prominent guests from the folk and Celtic music scene. The market area offers unique artisan products, while the food stalls serve dishes and drinks inspired by Celtic traditions, for an authentic journey through flavors as well. The atmosphere, with music, bonfires, and reenactments, recreates the charm of a distant world.

An event for the territory

For Idro and the entire Valle Sabbia, Celtic Days represents an event of identity that enhances the lake and its hinterland. Free entry makes it a popular and accessible event, attracting visitors from all over the province of Brescia and beyond, united by a passion for history, music, and Celtic traditions.
