From 22 November 2025 to 6 January 2026, the lakeside promenade and the old town welcome thousands of visitors to experience the magical Christmas atmosphere! A rich programme of appointments and events awaits visitors. The Christmas market, with 40 exhibitors, is on the lakeside and at Carrara Bottagisio Park.
Carrara Bottagisio Park, will host three major attractions: the indoor ice skating rink, even bigger this year, the Ferris wheel and Father Christmas's interactive sleigh, while for children the traditional horse ride will be in Piazza del Porto.
Along the lakeside, in the splendid basin of Bardolino, dozens of carefully selected companies will offer their high quality products: from traditional food and wine to local handicrafts and original home-made Christmas items.
Strolling through the old town centre, one can visit the church of S. Severo with the adjoining Sala della Disciplina, the small church of San Zeno, and the parish church of San Nicolò, all enveloped in the Christmas atmosphere and lots of lights that transform Bardolino into a splendid Christmas village on the shores of Lake Garda.
On Wednesday, 31 December, New Year's Eve will be celebrated with lots of music and fun for everyone at Carrara Bottagisio Park.
Bardolino is waiting for you to enjoy the magical atmosphere of Christmas!
