About Albese Carnival

The Albese con Cassano Carnival Parade is the masked festival that colours the streets of the village, in the Larian Triangle, in the province of Como, every winter. Organised by the Pro Loco, it brings together children, families and masked participants in front of the Church of San Pietro for a cheerful parade with confetti and costumes, followed by a snack in the Oratory. A simple and participatory village festival, designed especially for the little ones, which brings the joyful spirit of Carnival to the heart of Albese con Cassano, among the hills separating Lake Como from Brianza.

The Carnival of Albese

The Carnival Parade of Albese con Cassano, a municipality in the Larian Triangle in the province of Como, is the masked festival that enlivens the village during Carnival. Organised by the Pro Loco, it is an event eagerly awaited by children and families, who fill the village streets with colour and joy.
