About Quarta d'Agosto Festival

The Festa della Quarta d'Agosto is one of the most beloved traditional festivals in the hinterland of Lake Garda, held in August in Costermano sul Garda, in the province of Verona. Reaching its 51st edition in 2026, it offers five evenings with a large dance floor for ballroom dancing, local craft stands, entertainment for children, and food stalls with Garda specialities like stuffed duck and porchetta. Free admission, from 7 PM to midnight, in a genuine popular festival atmosphere.

A Half-Century Tradition on Garda

The Festa della Quarta d'Agosto is one of the historic events of Costermano sul Garda, a municipality in the Garda hinterland in the province of Verona. Founded in the 1970s, it will reach its 51st edition in 2026, a sign of a deep connection with the community and with visitors who choose the Veronese Riviera of Garda every summer.

Dancing, Crafts, and Typical Flavours

The heart of the festival is the large dance floor dedicated to ballroom dancing, around which the stands of local crafts and offerings for the little ones are set up. The food stalls celebrate regional cuisine with traditional dishes such as stuffed duck and porchetta, specialities that showcase the authentic flavours of Veronese Garda.

A Festival for the Whole Family

With free admission and evening hours from 7 PM to midnight, the Festa della Quarta d'Agosto is designed for all ages: music and dancing for adults, entertainment for children, and good food for everyone. An opportunity to experience the authentic atmosphere of a village festival just a stone's throw from the lake shores.
