With the arrival of the first chilly days and the onset of autumn, the Parco Giardino Sigurtà in Valeggio sul Mincio takes on new, extraordinary hues. From September 23 to November 15, 2026, the Autumn Festival invites visitors to experience the magic of the changing foliage: among centuries-old maples, oaks, and vast green expanses, the treetops transform into a vibrant palette of colors-ranging from gold and amber to fiery red and copper.
This time of year offers a wonderful opportunity to rediscover the Park in a different light, as nature slows its pace, revealing evocative vistas and an intimate, relaxing atmosphere.
A program full of magic, sport, and fun
In addition to enchanting walks amidst the autumn leaves, the Festival features a rich calendar of events for visitors of all ages:

In addition to enchanting walks amidst the autumn leaves, the Festival features a rich calendar of events for visitors of all ages:
- Autumnal splashes of color
Throughout October and November, the Park delights visitors once again with the blooming of ''Autumn Tulips,'' bringing a touch of the energy of the famous *Tulipanomania* (Tulip-mania) to the season as it wanes. - Fantastic journeys and Halloween
From October 10 until the end of the season, families can embark on an immersive experience titled ''The Broken Seal'' (*Il sigillo spezzato*), designed to draw younger visitors into a mystery-filled narrative. The highlight for children arrives on Sunday, November 1, with a special Halloween event at the Park; from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the gardens will be filled with themed decorations, elaborate sets, and a festive, pumpkin-inspired atmosphere. - The Halloween Run
For sports and outdoor enthusiasts, the fifth edition of the ''Halloween Run'' returns on Sunday, November 8th. This fun, non-competitive event (running from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM) combines walking, music, and entertainment along the park's tree-lined avenues. - Grand Season Finale
Sunday, November 15th, marks the final day of the 2026 season, before the Park begins its customary winter break.
