Lake Maggiore is preparing to shine its own light once again with the second edition of “Baveno and Feriolo d’Incanto.” After last year’s great success, the event returns from July 12 to August 31, 2025 with an even more spectacular program, transforming the shores of Baveno and Feriolo into a stage of wonder that will captivate residents and tourists alike.
A festival of lights on Baveno’s lakefront
The beating heart of “Baveno and Feriolo d’Incanto” will be the picturesque lakefront of Baveno, which will be transformed into a fairytale setting thanks to an even more impressive light fountain show than the previous edition . The scenic installations will extend over the lake for as much as forty meters, exceeding last year’s length by ten meters, and will give life each night to three shows of lights, colors and music.
The water will dance to the notes of enveloping melodies, reflecting glows of a thousand colors under the starry sky of Lake Maggiore. It is an experience that enchants adults and children alike, a unique opportunity to experience the city from an unprecedented perspective and immerse oneself in an almost fairy-tale atmosphere.
Feriolo surprises with unique laser show
Among the most anticipated new features of this second edition of Baveno and Feriolo d’Incanto is the Feriolo laser show, which will debut on July 13, 2025. Here, the magic moves from the waters of the lake to the majestic natural setting of the mountain: beams of colored light and moving images will be projected onto the rock, transforming it into a living canvas.
Lighting effects and special effects will move to the rhythm of the music, drawing dreamlike figures and scenery that will catch the eye and make the heart flutter. The mountain thus becomes an integral part of the show, with energy spreading from the landscape to the audience, giving spectators a moment of pure fascination.
The magic of the Night of San Lorenzo
Among the dates to mark in your agenda is the Night of San Lorenzo, August 10, when the festival will reach its climax. On this special evening, Baveno’s light fountains and Feriolo’s lasers will come together in one grand spectacle. The starry August sky and the calm waters of Lake Maggiore will be the perfect backdrop for an experience that promises to be unforgettable.
Those who attend will be able to make a wish under the rain of shooting stars, surrounded by dancing lights and evocative melodies-a moment of deep connection with the beauty of nature and the vibrant soul of these localities.
An opportunity to enhance the territory
Baveno and Feriolo d’Incanto is not only a must-attend event for lovers of immersive experiences, but also represents an important showcase for the area. Thanks to the commitment of the Baveno Municipal Administration and the invaluable contribution of partners such as Zacchera Hotels, Bosco Palace with Riva Beach Club, Impresa Bellani, Segnaletica Novarese and many others, the event aims to consolidate Baveno and Feriolo as reference destinations on Lake Maggiore.
Last year, the initiative attracted thousands of visitors, helping to generate a positive inducement for accommodations, restaurants and local businesses. The second edition confirms the ambition to make these locations increasingly attractive, combining nature, culture and entertainment in a winning mix.

For families, it is a way to experience a magical night together with the children, who will be amazed at the luminous fountains and light games. For couples, it is an invitation to indulge in a romantic moment under the stars, amid music, wishes and dreamy scenery.
