Il Parco in Festa

Il Parco in Festa in Baveno

Il Parco in Festa is an event dedicated to families and children that brings the Parco di Villa Fedora to life every year. This historic garden overlooks Lake Maggiore in the town of Baveno, located in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province in the heart of the Piedmont lake district. For an entire afternoon, the park's expansive lawns become a large, free, and accessible open-air playground where little ones can have fun surrounded by nature, just steps from the water.

An afternoon of games for the little ones

The event offers sensory and recreational activities designed for children from 18 months old, meant to be enjoyed with the whole family in a natural setting. Highlights of the event include:

• Parata per Aria: spectacular, colorful fabric structures that come to life with movement, filling the park with light and imaginative shapes.
• Suoni in Gioco: games made from common and recycled materials that can be moved and played, helping children discover music through creativity and upcycling.
• Nutella Party: the special snack offered at the Chiosco di Villa Fedora, a delicious and unmissable highlight of the afternoon.

Musical aperitif and festive atmosphere

To conclude the day, the event wraps up with a musical aperitif in collaboration with Baveno Web Radio, entertaining both adults and children with a DJ set and a convivial finale. The initiative is organized by the City of Baveno and the Tourism Office, with the support of the Italian Red Cross – Baveno local committee, the Chiosco di Villa Fedora, and Baveno Web Radio.

Villa Fedora, a park on Lake Maggiore

The event is set in the Parco di Villa Fedora, one of Baveno's most evocative green spaces: a historic garden filled with ancient trees overlooking Lake Maggiore, now a public space beloved by residents and tourists alike. Choosing this venue for Il Parco in Festa combines children's entertainment with the scenic beauty of the lake in one of Piedmont's most renowned tourist destinations. As noted by the municipal administration, this is a festival that grows and improves every year, offering high-quality, free leisure time for local families.
