A pleasant mixture of colours, scents, delights and unique emotions. Lake Garda hosts a wide range of events all year round, celebrating the region’s traditions by combining nature, culture and local food & wine to offer a variety of entertainment like no other place.
With its foliage in red hues, the month of November features a beautiful landscape, whose bright colours can be admired during walks on the lake, in the forests or in the parks. For some visitors, this autumn scenery is pure romance, while for others it evokes a bittersweet melancholy. One thing is for sure: it is the perfect time to enjoy the tranquillity of Lake Garda and the resorts without traffic jams and tourist crowds of summer tourists.
Thanks to the mild weather of the so-called "St. Martin's Summer", the beginning of November is also a great time for culinary festivals and sporting events. Towards the end of the month, when temperatures begin to drop and winter gets closer, the first Christmas markets open their doors.
