A unique event is set to brighten the morning of August 30, 2025, on the enchanting San Biagio Island. This is the fourth edition of “DegustaColazione at Dawn“, an initiative that combines the magic of sunrise with a multisensory experience ranging from art to local gastronomy, solidifying its status as a premier event in the Lake Garda scene. Organized by the Pro Loco of Manerba, this year’s theme is “The 4 Seasons,” promising participants an emotional and unforgettable journey.
A Journey Through Performance and Flavors
Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy a series of high-level artistic performances. The program includes the Sand Show by Andrea Arena, where sand drawings come to life, and the Ice Show by Francesco Falasconi, featuring ice sculptures that will reflect the first rays of sunlight. The atmosphere will be further enriched by circus arts performances, showcasing stilt walkers and aerial dancers from the group “Le Instancabili,” composed of Nadia Martelengo, Noemi Chiarello, and Eugenia Messedaglia, all accompanied by live melodies.
There will also be delightful surprises for the palate, with a culinary offering celebrating the products of Valtenesi. Among the tastings, participants will savor Rosé wines from local wineries and extra virgin olive oils from selected producers. A new feature this year is the “express hot breakfast.” Artisan ice cream will take center stage with exclusive creations designed for the event, crafted by master gelato makers Barbara Bettera and Giuseppe Zerbato.
The Event: Organization and Tickets
The initiative is organized by the Pro Loco of Manerba in collaboration with the Municipal Administration, Manerba Tourist Services, and the Valtenesi Consortium, with support from various local sponsors such as Gardaffare Real Estate Agency and others.

She also revealed that during the event, the most original phrase submitted by participants in the fourth edition of ‘Sorsi di Parole’ will be awarded.
