ToPlay 2026: the gaming festival at Parco Dora in Turin
TO Play Torino 2026 brings two free days of role-playing games, board games, LARP, cosplay and wargames to Parco Dora. Here you’ll find the dates, times, access info and details about the schedule, including activities that may require registration. There’s also practical information on how to reach the festival from Hotel Miramonti using bus 2 and how to plan your journey back.
TO Play Torino 2026 takes place on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September, from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, in the covered area of Parco Dora, near the skatepark, with access from Via Borgaro 70. The gaming festival offers free admission: the perfect starting point for anyone curious to try a role-playing game for the first time, as well as for those who already come prepared with dice, miniatures or a group ready to play.
TO Play is Turin’s festival dedicated to role-playing games, board games, LARP, cosplay, wargames, and meetups for both game creators and anyone interested in the local gaming community. The atmosphere changes from table to table: some guests arrive not knowing where to begin, others are looking for precise rules, a campaign to try out or people to share a session with. That’s the highlight of the event: you might stop out of curiosity and, not long after, find yourself discussing a strategy as if your group had always existed.
The official TO Play Torino 2026 schedule is the best way to check activities, tables, tournaments, and organizational updates. Entry to the festival is confirmed as free, while some activities may require a separate registration or booking: this applies to TOPlayers, the role-playing game tournament scheduled on both mornings, from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm. Registration for the tournament opens on 6 May 2026; check the event channel for up-to-date spot availability.
To make sure you don’t waste time, it’s best to check the schedule in advance, especially if your group wants to join a specific session or your time in Turin is limited. Information that may change includes activity times, reservable tables, tournament rules, conferences, and cosplay initiatives. If you’re already familiar with TO Play, you can use the event app to select which activities interest you; if you’re visiting for the first time, the program is your easiest guide to discover what really sparks your curiosity, without needing to master every game in advance.
From Hotel Miramonti, in Piazza Derna 238, the most convenient starting point for TO Play is the bus 2 stop, right in front of the hotel. Using public transport means you won’t have to turn your arrival at Parco Dora into a search for parking— an important detail when the event is crowded. Before departure, it’s a good idea to check the day’s service and any necessary changes, as traffic and detours can affect travel times.
The event website mentions free parking available around Parco Dora, but during TO Play these spots can fill up quickly and searching for a space can delay your arrival. That’s why, for guests staying with us, the bus 2 outside Hotel Miramonti is the simplest solution. On your return, reception is open 24 hours: a helpful point of reference if your game runs late, plans change or you need advice for the next day’s route.
Have you already decided if you’ll join us on 19, 20 September or both days of TO Play Torino 2026? You can check for your stay on those dates and book directly at Hotel Miramonti, making it easy to plan your arrival, departure and the time you want to spend at the tables that interest you most.

From Hotel Miramonti you can leave from the bus 2 stop, located in front of the building at Piazza Derna 238. Before heading out, check the scheduled service, any necessary changes and possible detours.
There are free parking spots indicated around Parco Dora, but during the festival these may fill up quickly. If you’re staying at Hotel Miramonti, taking bus 2 can help you avoid searching for parking.
