The patron of Bagolino is Saint George, celebrated on 23 April in the Church of San Giorgio Martire.

Bagolino is the largest municipality by area in the province of Brescia and is known for Bagòss cheese, as well as for its Carnival, documented in the town archives since at least the 16th century: the feast is divided into two distinct groups, the elegant Bälärì dancers and musicians, and the grotesque Màscär masked figures. Every five years the Feast of the Madonna di San Luca is also held, when the original painting is carried in procession through the town. The town also holds the Ponte Caffaro bridge.
