About Fedora Live Festival

The Fedora Live Festival is a charity music event that brings the park of Villa Fedora in Baveno, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, to life. For an entire day, local bands, DJ sets, a large risotto feast, and an open jam session for musicians come together in a free event dedicated to a good cause. Launched in 2025, the festival combines entertainment and social commitment in one of the most beautiful settings in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola area, under the patronage of the City of Baveno.

Music and solidarity at Villa Fedora

The Fedora Live Festival is a day entirely dedicated to live music, held in the picturesque park of Villa Fedora, overlooking Lake Maggiore in Baveno, in the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (Piedmont). The event is free and has a strong charitable focus: established in 2025, it has been organized since 2026 by the Italian Red Cross - Baveno Committee, with the patronage of the City of Baveno.

A day-long celebration

What makes the Fedora Live Festival special is its rhythm: the event begins at noon and continues until evening, alternating between social moments and plenty of music. It kicks off with a large risotto feast prepared by the Oltrefiume Festival Committee, accompanied by DJ entertainment, before moving into full swing in the afternoon with concerts by local bands. The evening concludes with a DJ set and a jam session open to all musicians who wish to take the stage.

The park of Villa Fedora

The choice of location is no coincidence: the historic park of Villa Fedora is one of Baveno's most beloved spots, a lakeside garden that hosts numerous events throughout the year and provides the ideal setting for an outdoor festival. The proximity to the water, the green spaces, and the relaxed atmosphere make the Fedora Live Festival a perfect destination for families, groups of friends, and music lovers.

An event with a charitable heart

Beyond the quality of the music, the festival has always had a social dimension: the first edition in 2025 was promoted by the association Africa My Love, while from 2026 the organization passed to the Italian Red Cross of Baveno. Attending means enjoying a day of music and good food while supporting the activities of local volunteers.

Why it's worth it

  • Free entry in one of the most beautiful parks on Lake Maggiore
  • A full day of risotto, live concerts, and DJ sets
  • Six local bands on stage
  • A final jam session open to musicians
  • A charity event supporting local volunteering
