Benedizione dei Barcaroi
Folk rite on the lake
The Blessing of the Barcaroi, an ancient tradition that our association has brought back to life. A ritual repeated every year on the lake, which historically invoked good weather for navigation.
On May 2, the unmissable springtime event returns to the waters of Lake Garda: beneath the Capitello della Madonina, at the start of the season, the boats of those who live the lake for pleasure or for work gather together. In the presence of the Mayor, local authorities, and the Archpriest of Riva, who will impart the blessing, the event celebrates the deep bond between the community and the lake.
