The Arsago Seprio Carnival

The Arsago Seprio Carnival is the cheerful village festival that enlivens the streets of the municipality every year during carnival season, in the province of Varese. The event is organized by the San Giovanni Bosco Oratory together with the Parents' Committee and with the support of the local Alpini Group, as an example of collaboration between the area's associative realities.

A Different Theme Every Year

A distinctive feature of the Arsago carnival is the choice of a different theme for each edition, which inspires the masked parade, the costumes prepared by the oratory, and the day's entertainment. The parade winds through the village streets and returns to the oratory, where games, awards, and convivial moments continue.

A Party for the Little Ones

The carnival is designed primarily for children and young people, with themed games, awards, and surprises for those in costume. The initiative is based on the spirit of sharing that characterizes the entire community of Arsago Seprio, a village with a rich historical heritage linked to the Lombard era and the Basilica of San Vittore.
