September on Lake Garda: between the Sagra dei Osei and the Sisàn Museum

September on the lake brings a different rhythm: summer gives way to autumn, and traditions return as protagonists. It’s time for the Sagra dei Osei in Cisano, one of the oldest and most characteristic events of the area, held this year from September 4 to 9, 2025.

Born centuries ago as a bird fair, today the Sagra is a great popular festival that enlivens the Cisano lakeside with stalls, exhibitions, music, and autumn scents. Walking among the stands, you breathe an authentic atmosphere: local flavors, artisan exhibitions, sounds that tell the past. It’s an event blending folklore and community, making September on Lake Garda truly special.

Just steps from the festival, it’s worth visiting the Sisàn Museum, a small treasure dedicated to ornithology, fishing, and rural Garda traditions. Its rooms host tools, relics, and curiosities showing the deep bond between people and the lake: a fascinating path also for children, thanks to clear and immediate storytelling.

The Sagra and the museum thus become two sides of the same coin: on one side, the vitality of a popular celebration, on the other, the preserved memory of heritage worth knowing.

September is the right month to discover this genuine side of Garda, made of simple gestures, encounters, and stories passed down. Returning then to Bardolino, the lakeside walk lights up with softer light, perfect for closing the day calmly and with a sense of belonging.

Book your stay and experience Garda traditions up close: the Sagra dei Osei and the Sisàn Museum await you.
