Arco Carnival

The 2025 Arco Carnival

In 2025, the Arco Carnival celebrated its 149th edition, spread over the two weekends of February 22-23 and March 1-2. The event offered a rich calendar of events, parades, and games through the streets and squares of the historic center of Arco, in the province of Trento.

Around the church of Santa Maria Assunta, fixed stations were set up with four themed stages: the Monster Stage and the Circus Stage in Piazzale Segantini, the Dinosaur Stage in Piazza delle Canoniche, and the Saloon Stage in Piazza Tre Novembre. Traditional apple fritters, the wheel of fortune, games, and, on Sundays, face painting were all part of the fun. Activities took place from 2:30 PM until late afternoon, featuring entertainment and masked processions accompanied by musical groups.
