About Salò in Musica

Four Thursday evenings, from June to September, during which the center of Salò transforms into a large stage overlooking Lake Garda. With outdoor seating extending to the lake, soft lighting, and live acoustic music, Salò in Musica brings 1930s and 1940s jazz, blues, timeless standards, and pop music to the streets and squares of the town in Brescia. A free and engaging format that in 2025 attracted over four thousand people per evening.

Music leaves the venues and embraces the lake

Salò in Musica is a series of widespread music events that enlivens the historic center of Salò, in the province of Brescia, over four evenings throughout the summer. The idea is simple and effective: the outdoor seating areas of the venues extend to almost touch the water, tables and lights overlook the Gulf, and various points in the city host live artists playing with acoustic instruments and original arrangements.

A musical journey through the streets

The public strolls from one location to another, following a true soundscape. The programming ranges from the atmospheres of 1930s and 1940s American jazz to blues, from timeless standards to contemporary pop, with a particular focus on the quality of the performances and acoustic sound, far from the excesses of large summer festivals.

A shared project

The event is the result of collaboration between the Municipal Administration, the Pro Loco (local tourist association), and the commercial activities of the center, with the support of Radio Bruno for music, entertainment, and live broadcasts. The 2025 edition confirmed the great success of the format, attracting over four thousand participants for each evening and becoming one of the most recognizable events of the Garda summer.

Why it's worth the evening

Salò in Musica is an opportunity to experience the Brescia side of Lake Garda in a relaxed and musical way: a dinner overlooking the lake, a stroll accompanied by jazz, the elegant and familiar atmosphere of a town that makes quality of life its calling card.

Salò in Musica — edition 2026
