Festa di San Martino 2026 in Peschiera del Garda

Peschiera del Garda celebrates its patron saint with the Festa di San Martino, four days of Venetian tradition between Piazza Battistoni and the Canale di Mezzo, in the heart of the fortress. The programme combines a small market, rowing races between the city’s districts with the Palio di San Martino in traditional Venetian style, roasted chestnuts and Lugana DOC wine tastings.

The highlight comes on 11 November, Saint Martin’s day, with the Incendio dei Voltoni: a pyromusical show on the Venetian bridge that reflects lights and fireworks in the canal’s water. A free event, suited to families, best enjoyed strolling along the fortress walls.
