Famiglie CreAttive

A weekend dedicated to families in Arco

Famiglie CreAttive is the annual event that, every late May, transforms the squares of the historic center of Arco, in the province of Trento, into a large open-air workshop. Around the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta, among gazebos and wooden stalls, a market comes to life, brimming with original handmade artisan creations and food and wine products from the Trentino region. It is a hub of positive energy, fun, and togetherness, designed for children, parents, and grandparents alike.

The artisan and creative market

The heart of the event is the handmade market, which showcases the ingenuity of artisans and creatives throughout the weekend: ceramic objects, textiles, illustrations, jewelry, and small handcrafted items, alongside local gastronomic specialties. Exhibitors enliven the urban living room of this Garda Trentino town, offering visitors a chance to browse, shop, and rediscover the value of manual craftsmanship.

Workshops, shows, and games

The program alternates between activities for all ages: creative and ceramic workshops, storytelling sessions for the little ones, traditional wooden games, board games, skateboarding, and book swaps. There is no shortage of live performances: street art, clowns, magic, face painting, and music fill the squares with laughter. Meetings with pedagogues and conferences dedicated to parents are also scheduled to address themes of education and growth with a lighthearted approach.

The Family Festival

The event intertwines with the historic Family Festival, which closes the weekend: yoga for adults and children, orienteering, roaming performances, workshops, and recreational activities turn the center of Arco into one big square dedicated to play and togetherness. The initiative is organized by the Consorzio Assocentro with the Municipality of Arco—a recognized "Family-Friendly" town—and involves a wide network of local associations and educational organizations.

Arco and the Garda Trentino

Hosting Famiglie CreAttive in the historic center of Arco means combining the event experience with the discovery of one of the most evocative locations in Trentino-Alto Adige: dominated by the famous medieval castle, surrounded by olive groves, and just a few kilometers from Lake Garda, Arco is an ideal destination for a family trip blending culture, nature, and leisure.
