About Children's Carnival

The Children's Carnival lights up Piazza Roncas, in the historic center of Aosta, with an afternoon dedicated to children and families: entertainment, baby dance, carnival makeup workshops, balloon games, inflatables, and lots of colorful costumes. A party designed for the little ones, protagonists of a large open-air stage amidst confetti, music, and laughter, with the participation of the square's merchants. The first edition was held in February 2026, organized by the Municipality of Aosta with the Arte in Testa association.

Aosta's Carnival for the Little Ones

The Children's Carnival is the Carnival party dedicated to children and families that takes place in Piazza Roncas, one of the most charming squares in the historic center of Aosta. Born in 2026, the event transforms the urban space into a large open-air stage, where children in costume are the real protagonists, amidst imaginative costumes, confetti, music, and laughter.

Entertainment, Workshops, and Inflatables

The festive afternoon offers entertainment and moments of baby dance, carnival makeup workshops, balloon games, free play areas, and inflatable attractions. A simple and joyful program, designed to involve the little ones in complete safety, with the participation of the merchants of Piazza Roncas in themed initiatives. The event is part of the broader calendar of carnivals in the Aosta Valley, a region with a rich Carnival tradition featuring the historic parades of the landzette and village groups.

A New City Tradition

With this initiative, the Municipality of Aosta, together with the Arte in Testa association, wanted to offer the capital a child-friendly Carnival event, complementary to the great historic Aosta Valley carnivals such as the Coumba Freida and the valley parades. A community celebration aiming to become a new classic of the Aosta winter.
