Live music on the shores of Lake Garda in Riva del Garda
About XLive Music Festival
A live music festival overlooking Lake Garda
The XLive Music Festival is a free musical event that brings Riva del Garda to life, a town on the Trentino shore of the lake in the province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). The event takes place in the green surroundings of Parco Ex-Colonia Miralago, a spacious area facing the water that transforms every summer into an open-air stage for music and conviviality.
Live music from morning until midnight
The festival's format focuses primarily on live concerts: the stage hosts a rotation of well-known bands and emerging young talents, with a program ranging from rock and pop to indie vibes. The days unfold non-stop from early morning until midnight, and each evening concludes with two hours of DJ sets to keep the energy high until late at night.
More than just concerts
Surrounding the music is a rich calendar of entertainment designed for all ages: jugglers, karaoke, dance shows, and other surprises mark the days. A large covered food & drink area, set up under gazebos, allows visitors to enjoy food and beverages sheltered from the sun and experience the festival in total comfort.
A free event for everyone
Admission to the XLive Music Festival is free, making it a popular and well-attended highlight of the Garda summer. The informal atmosphere and the location just a stone's throw from the lake make the event ideal for families, groups of friends, and tourists vacationing on the Trentino side of Garda. The organization is managed by Soul Lake Events, a team active in promoting musical events in the Riva del Garda area.
Riva del Garda, capital of the Upper Garda
As the tourist heart of the Trentino Upper Garda, Riva del Garda combines the charm of the lake with the surrounding mountains and a historic center rich in history. The XLive Music Festival fits perfectly into the city's lively summer calendar, alongside renowned events like the MusicaRiva Festival, helping to make Riva one of the most dynamic destinations in Trentino for those seeking outdoor music and events.
