Anguriata in piazza (Watermelon Festival in the Square)

The Anguriata in piazza is one of the most anticipated summer events in Riva del Garda, a convivial occasion to enjoy fresh watermelon on warm August evenings. Organized by the La Bacionela Club association, the event has become established over the years as a fixed appointment that brings together the local community and visitors around a simple and genuine pleasure: red and juicy watermelon slices distributed free of charge. The event on August 15, 2026 will feature the distribution of 23 quintals of watermelons from Piazza Garibaldi from 8 PM to approximately 10 PM. A perfect opportunity to spend a summer evening outdoors, in good company and in the spirit of simplicity. The volunteers of the La Bacionela Club association, with dedication and community spirit, ensure the success of this authentic and refreshing festival. It is not just food, but a true summer ritual that brings conviviality back to the heart of city life. A genuine experience where the pleasure of sharing triumphs over all other considerations.
