Festa della Contrada Porto - Aspettando il Palio
The yellow-and-blue contrada of the sardella lights up Garda's summer while awaiting the Palio
About Festa Contrada Porto
Awaiting the Palio, contrada by contrada
The Festa della Contrada Porto is part of the 'Aspettando il Palio' festival, a series of contrada festivals that, during the summer months, accompany Garda towards the famous Palio delle Contrade on Ferragosto. Each historic contrada of the village dedicates an evening to its own identity, its colours, and its flavours, in a growing anticipation for the great regatta on August 15th.
The yellow-and-blue contrada of the sardella
The Contrada Porto, recognisable by its yellow and blue colours and the symbol of the sardella, offers the typical gastronomic specialities of Garda and the Lake, in an evening designed for residents and tourists. The local delicacies are accompanied by live music, which enlivens the festival with a concert from 9:30 PM.
An evening of celebration by the lake
The festival is an authentic opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Garda village, amidst tradition, good food, and folklore. Garda, in the province of Verona, experiences its most popular and convivial spirit during these evenings, awaiting the contrade to compete on the water in the bisse regatta of the Palio.
