Festa dell'Ospite di Gargnano

A festival for Garda's guests

The Festa dell'Ospite is the summer event with which Gargnano, a village in the province of Brescia on the western shore of Lake Garda, pays homage to the tourists and guests who liven up the town during the summer months. As the name suggests, it is a festival of welcome, designed to make visitors feel at home in Gargnano for their lake holidays.

Piazza Feltrinelli takes center stage

The heart of the event is the charming Piazza Feltrinelli, directly overlooking the water, one of the most beautiful squares on the Brescia side of Garda. For two days, the square transforms into a stage with live music, shows, and food, in an atmosphere that unites residents and visitors.

• Live music and shows in Piazza Feltrinelli
• Food featuring the spiedo bresciano

The spiedo bresciano

Among the absolute stars of the festival is the spiedo bresciano, a dish symbolizing the local gastronomic tradition, also celebrated with its characteristic competition. The Festa dell'Ospite thus intertwines tourist hospitality and local food culture, confirming itself as one of the most beloved events of the Gargnano summer and a way to experience the authentic hospitality of Lake Garda.
