Festival ART — Appiani Roseto Treves
A summer of art and performance in the three historic parks of Padua
About Festival ART
Art inhabits Padua's historic parks
The Festival ART — Appiani Roseto Treves is a project promoted by the Municipality of Padua, organized by the agency Glamour, and supported by BCC Veneta, designed to enhance the city's public green spaces. The protagonists are three fascinating historic parks: the Giardino Appiani, the Roseto di Santa Giustina, and the Parco Treves, the latter being one of the oldest 19th-century gardens in the city.
A summer-long calendar
From mid-May to the end of September, the three parks host a packed schedule of events: itinerant performative walks, immersive concerts, guided tours, meetings, wellness activities, and initiatives also dedicated to our four-legged friends in the dog areas. The common thread of the entire project is art, understood in its multiple forms — expression, performance, experience, beauty, and discovery.
A widespread festival for everyone
The programming is designed for diverse audiences in terms of age and interests, from families to culture lovers, from those seeking a moment of relaxation in nature to those who want to experience the city in a new way. Almost all events are free admission (with the exception, for example, of the rose garden tour), with ticketing managed on the Eventbrite platform for events that require it. An original way to rediscover Padua's hidden gardens during the warm season.
Festival ART — edition 2026
The Festival ART 2026 enlivens Padua's three historic parks from May 17 to September 27, with a rich calendar of events intertwining art, nature, and community.
