Di Gusto in Gusto Christmas Market

About the event

From November to January, the historic centre of Riva del Garda — Piazza Garibaldi and Piazza Cesare Battisti — turns into a small gastronomic village. Visitors can taste local wines, cured meats and cheeses, along with Trentino specialities, mulled wine and hot chocolate served street-food style from small wooden huts.

The market focuses on local flavours and supports the area's producers and supply chain. It includes space for local associations, reusable cups and glasses to cut down on waste, mountain choir performances, and illuminated historic gardens.

Campagna Amica farmers' market

Around 17 stalls of Trentino producers, organised by Coldiretti's Campagna Amica, line Viale Roma every Friday. You'll find fresh and preserved fruit and vegetables, berries, cheese and dairy, meat, honey, herbs and farm bread. It is a short-supply-chain market mainly used by residents for their weekly shop.

About Riva del Garda

Riva del Garda sits at the northern tip of the lake, where the cliffs of the Rocchetta drop almost straight into the water and the Sarca plain opens towards Arco.
