🏅 Official Milano-Cortina 2026 Event
26 – 28 June 2026
Vivilago 2026
Varese Schiranna — Lake Varese
VIVILAGO 2026 returns to Schiranna for three days of celebration, sport, music, fun and solidarity on the shores of Lake Varese.
Born to enhance and protect Lake Varese, VIVILAGO is today a charitable event that brings together community, environment, inclusion and participation. An event open to all — families, children, young people, sports enthusiasts and citizens — designed to experience the lake together in an active, joyful and supportive way.
From 26 June, starting at approximately 7pm, until the afternoon of 28 June, Schiranna will come alive with live music, DJ sets, sports activities, Dragon Boat, children's games, shows, social gatherings, food & beverage and plenty of opportunities to spend time together outdoors.
Taking part in VIVILAGO means enjoying wonderful moments in a unique setting, while also supporting a concrete cause: the proceeds from the event will go to community solidarity projects, with particular focus on the inclusion of people with disabilities through sport.
VIVILAGO is much more than a festival: it is a community experience, an opportunity to rediscover Lake Varese and contribute, together, to a project of solidarity and participation.
