Choirs from all over the world sing between Peschiera del Garda and the art cities of the Verona area
The Festival Internazionale Corale Verona Garda Estate is a non-competitive choral review that has been bringing choirs from every continent to Lake Garda and the provinces of Northern Italy since 2007. Peschiera del Garda, in the province of Verona, is one of the main venues, with evening concerts hosted in churches, squares, theatres, and ancient villas.
The festival brings together choral ensembles from faraway countries — from the Cayman Islands to Iceland, from Canada to Australia, from Belgium to Germany, from Switzerland to Spain, and even China — alongside prestigious Italian choirs. The opening and closing ceremonies involve all participating choirs, in a great moment of musical sharing.
Four days immersed in some of Italy's most emblematic art cities, with major choral concerts in churches, theatres, and ancient villas, a gala evening, and a final concert accompanied by tastings of typical Italian products. The festival combines the excellence of international choral music with the discovery of the historical and landscape heritage of the Garda and Verona area.
With its Venetian fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site overlooking the lake, Peschiera del Garda offers a suggestive setting for the festival's concerts. The event is a unique opportunity to hear choirs from all over the world in charming locations, within its historic walls and on the shores of Lake Garda.
The 2026 edition of the Festival Internazionale Corale Verona Garda Estate will take place on selected dates from June 25 to July 11, with Peschiera del Garda as one of the main venues. Choirs from countries such as the Cayman Islands, Iceland, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and China will perform alongside Italian ensembles in evening concerts hosted in churches, squares, and historic villas.
