From May 22nd to 26th, the Municipal Administration of Castiglione delle Stiviere is organizing a series of events culminating in the “Festa dello Sport” (Sport Festival). The Parco Pastore will be transformed into an open-air gym, where local sports associations will provide information on courses planned for the upcoming autumn in both the municipality and surrounding areas.
