From June to September 2026, the Desenzano Summer Vibes program brought more than a hundred events to the historic center, Rivoltella, San Martino della Battaglia and the other hamlets of Desenzano del Garda: concerts, open-air cinema, cultural and literary talks, sports competitions, family activities, street performances with the Buskers Festival, historical reenactments and food festivals.

Among the season's standout events: the Mille Miglia drive-by on June 9, the Garda Air Show with the Frecce Tricolori on September 4 and 5, the Jazz on the Road evenings and, closing out the program, the Desenzano Film Festival from September 25 to 27.

A summer full of ways to experience Desenzano del Garda, with Santa always open on the lungolago Cesare Battisti waterfront for a lake-view break between one event and the next.
