About GardaDay

Where the information comes from

Events are gathered three ways:

• Hand-curated from primary sources: town councils, tourism boards (Pro Loco, Visit… sites) and the organisers' own pages
• An automatic scraper that reads the RSS feeds of the town councils that publish them, run once a week
• Submissions and corrections from registered users, reviewed before they appear

We only use primary sources: a town, a tourism board, or the event's own organiser. We do not re-scrape other listing sites or aggregators. Weekly markets are generated from a hand-checked table of market days rather than listed one by one.

The attraction pages, town guides and theme guides are written by hand. Opening times and practical details are kept general on purpose, because they change; always check the official site before you go.

How it's kept current

The event data is refreshed continuously and the scraper runs weekly. Past events drop out of the calendar automatically. The town, attraction and things-to-do pages are reviewed and updated through the year.

How it's funded

GardaDay is free and has no paywall. It is supported by a small amount of display advertising and by affiliate links on some tour and ticket pages. The events, town information, market days and practical guidance are never sponsored. The page "How GardaDay is funded" has the full picture.

The area covered

The whole lake and the hinterland within roughly 10-15 km of the shore: 76 towns across Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino. Verona, Brescia and Mantua themselves are out of scope, as are trade-fair venues far from the lake.
