Celtic Days – Lake Idro

The Celts return to Lake Idro

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

Re-enactment, encampments, and battles

The heart of the event is the historical re-enactments, curated by volunteers from the Confraternita del Leone: about a hundred participants take turns offering visitors an immersive experience, with encampments, 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 artisanal products, while the food stalls serve dishes and drinks inspired by Celtic traditions, for an authentic journey through flavors as well. The atmosphere, amidst music, bonfires, and re-enactments, recreates the charm of a distant world.

An event for the territory

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