Garda Classic Car Show

The Bardolino lakeside is preparing to host one of the most elegant and evocative events dedicated to historic motoring: the 7th Garda Classic Car Show, scheduled for Saturday, September 5, and Sunday, September 6. An event that has become a reference point for enthusiasts, collectors, and tourists over the years, capable of uniting the beauty of historic cars with the timeless charm of Lake Garda.

The 2026 edition will bring some of the most fascinating vehicles of the twentieth century to the lakeside, in an elegance competition that will feature rare and prestigious models, alongside a novelty that will make the event even more exclusive: the presence of 10 vintage boats, which will complement the cars on display.

There will be 22 historic cars and 10 vintage boats competing for the awards of the competition.

The vehicles will be divided into five categories: Woodies, Sedans, Coupés, Convertibles, Supercars.

A true journey through over seventy years of automotive history, from the 1920s to the 1990s, with examples selected for rarity, preservation, and historical value.

Among the most anticipated elements remains the great evening show on Saturday, which has now become the hallmark of the event. An image and light show will be projected onto the facade of Villa Carrara Bottagisio, guiding the audience through a journey between cinema and motors. The cars present will indeed be matched with famous film scenes, creating a suggestive dialogue between culture, art, and automotive passion.
