🏅 Official Event 2026
27 – 28 June 2026
Vivilago 2026
Varese Schiranna — Lake Varese
VIVILAGO 2026 returns to Schiranna for two days of celebration, sport, music, fun and solidarity on the shores of Lake Varese.
Created to enhance and protect Lake Varese, VIVILAGO is today a charity event capable of bringing together community, environment, inclusion and participation. An event open to everyone — families, children, young people, athletes and citizens — designed to experience the lake together in an active, joyful and supportive way.
On 27 and 28 June, Schiranna will come alive with live music, DJ sets, sports activities, Dragon Boat, children's games, shows, moments of conviviality, food & beverage and many opportunities to spend time together outdoors.
Taking part in VIVILAGO means spending pleasant moments in a unique setting, but also supporting a concrete cause: the proceeds of the event will be donated to solidarity projects in the area, with particular attention to the inclusion of people with disabilities through sport.
VIVILAGO is much more than a party: it is a community experience, an opportunity to rediscover Lake Varese and contribute, together, to a project of solidarity and participation.
