Today Garda has become a fully equipped nice town: the alleys of the old town, once inhabited by fishermen, now houses shops, hotels and restaurants. The activity of fishing is still practiced by the locals and the most important events of Garda are linked to the fishing tradition: the “Palio delle Contrade” is a race that is held in mid-August on the typical rowboat, while the  “Sardellata Pal to the Vo” is a charming dinner by boat in the moonlight on the lake, which is organized in the month of July.
