The village carnival that changes theme every year in the province of Varese
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 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.
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.
The 2026 edition of the Arsago Seprio Carnival takes place on Saturday, February 21st at 3:30 PM, with the theme of the Winter Olympics.
The event includes a parade of "athletes" through the village streets, with floats and costumes inspired by winter sports, the lighting of the Olympic flame in the oratory, competitive games for children and young people, awards with medals, and a final aperitif. Surprises await those wearing costumes prepared by the oratory, emphasizing the initiative's spirit of sharing.
The Winter Olympics-themed parade and the lighting of the Olympic flame are the most spectacular moments of the 2026 edition.
Arsago Seprio can be reached by car from the SS336 near Milan Malpensa Airport, and is close to the Valmorea railway line.
The festival is held in the afternoon, with a gathering in the village streets and return to the oratory.
Free admission. The festival is free and open to all.
