Time|Out Sport Festival
Sport from all angles in Bergamo, Isola Bergamasca, and Valle San Martino
About Time|Out Sport Festival
A widespread festival dedicated to sport
Time|Out Sport Festival is a travelling event that spans Bergamo, the Isola Bergamasca, and the Valle San Martino, with its opening hosted by the Municipality of Sotto il Monte Giovanni XXIII (Province of Bergamo). The core idea is to look at sport from all angles: not just competition and results, but also culture, education, health, and social cohesion.
"Let's Play"
The slogan for the 2026 edition, "Let's Play", encapsulates the festival's approach, which addresses sensitive issues such as athlete safety, dropping out of sports, the use of technology, and, above all, the fight against abuse and the protection of minors in youth sectors. Alongside moments of reflection, the program features tournaments, competitions, and public talks.
Champions and guests
The festival brings together competitions and meetings with big names in sport. Among those announced for the 2026 edition are Paolo Savoldelli, Alberto Cova, Giacomo Agostini, and Gianpaolo Bellini, as well as talks dedicated to the protection of young people with industry experts.
Organization and territory
The event is organized by HServizi S.p.A. and Unica Sport SSD, with the involvement of local institutions and the University of Bergamo. The choice to start from Sotto il Monte connects the festival to a community active in sports and associations, within a network involving several municipalities in the Isola and Valle San Martino areas.
