Summer on Lake Garda is synonymous with outdoor events, lakeside walks, and evenings to enjoy until late. But it is in August, and in particular on the night of Ferragosto, that the lake really comes alive, thanks to spectacular fireworks that light up the sky and reflect on the water.

Where to see them (and some useful tips)

The fireworks are visible from the main vantage points and lakeside promenades of the towns involved. In particular, we recommend:
- Arriving early, especially on Ferragosto, to find a good spot and enjoy the pre-show atmosphere with music, stalls, and open bars. 
- Check for any changes or postponements on the official channels of the municipalities.
- Plan ahead, especially in places such as Salò, Limone, Garda, and Lazise, where attendance is very high.

Bellissima esperienza che spero di avere l'occasione di ripetere. Ho partecipato ad un giro del lago + aperitivo con 13 amiche per un addio al nubilato. Franco, il nostro capitano, si è premurato che tutto fosse perfetto! E' davvero un'esperienza che consiglio!
Bnix1984, Addio al Nubilato
Abbiamo fatto il tour della penisola di Sirmione al tramonto con aperitivo. La barca era spaziosa, pulita e abbiamo avuto modo di mettere la musica di nostro gusto. Il capitano Franco è stato cordiale, disponibile e professionale. Esperienza consigliata almeno una volta nella vita!!
Matteo, Aperitivo
Bellissima esperienza. Il panorama dalla barca è Molto suggestivo ed accompagnato dalle spiegazioni di Carlo, lo skipper, molto disponibile. Personale simpatico e cordiale, abbiamo apprezzato particolarmente la degustazione di vini. Secondo noi da rifare con amici
SabryF, Tour dei Castelli
We had such a brilliant time. The captains Isabella and Max were both fabulous. We got to see so much of Lake Garda and they were both very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this trip.
