The legendary event and cycling season opener is relocating part of its venue within the Italian town of Riva del Garda. This new location will bring the festival closer to the lakefront for a greener setting and more local flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the previous venue recently became unavailable, the organizers of the Bike Festival Riva del Garda 2025 took action and, in collaboration with the Municipality of Riva del Garda, secured a new, attractive location near the lake. Exhibitors, visitors and race participants will once again be able to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the event right on Lake Garda\u2014this time in an even more beautiful setting, surrounded by trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
