For those planning a visit or looking for unique, and above all free, evening activities, “Baveno d’Incanto” confirms itself as one of the most evocative and awaited events of summer 2025. This spectacular dancing fountain show, which combines water, light, and music, has become a regular fixture on the lake, an event that returns every year to fascinate residents and tourists. It’s not just a show, but a true calling card for summer nights in Baveno and Feriolo, offering an unforgettable activity for those who can count on this magic every summer.
The Borromeo Gulf at Night: A Stage of Lights and Romance
When the sun sets, Lake Maggiore takes on a unique and romantic atmosphere. The shores light up and the lights from houses and hotels reflect on the water, creating a sparkling scene that stretches from bank to bank. The Borromeo Gulf, in particular, transforms into a true open-air stage. From Baveno, you can admire the beautiful silhouette of the illuminated shores, clearly seeing the hotels and villages on the other side of the lake. This breathtaking view, enriched by light and water shows, makes every evening walk an unforgettable and completely free experience, one that combines the natural beauty of the place with the enchantment of these events. In addition to “Baveno d’Incanto,” the Borromeo Gulf has hosted other installations, such as the spectacular fountain in Verbania, famous for having even animated the Venice Carnival with its stunning water and fire displays, which was present in July and the first half of August. These events, installed directly on the lake, demonstrate the richness of the evening offerings in the area, inviting visitors to discover the magic that unfolds after sunset.
Baveno d’Incanto 2025: A Doubled Show between Lake and Mountain
The 2025 edition of “Baveno d’Incanto” exceeded expectations, offering a doubled and even more spectacular experience. The show took place in two distinct locations, each with its own unique feature.
In Baveno, the show featured the classic dancing fountains, whose powerful jets of water moved to the rhythm of music, illuminated by a choreography of colored lights that created incredible shapes and patterns directly on Lake Maggiore. The dates were from July 12 to August 31, offering a long period to enjoy the show.
In Feriolo, however, the event was enriched by a fascinating and unique new element: an artistic projection directly onto the mountain. This feature added a touch of magic and originality, allowing the audience to admire a show that united the lake and the surrounding landscape. The show in Feriolo was held from July 13 to August 24.
This approach made “Baveno d’Incanto” a versatile and complete show, capable of offering two different but complementary experiences, perfect for those who want to spend a special night on Lake Maggiore.
