About Masked Walk

For Fat Tuesday, the historic centre of Belluno fills with colours and masks for the Masked Walk: a costumed stroll open to children and adults that crosses the city's streets and squares. Promoted by the Municipality of Belluno, it is the heart of the city's Carnival, accompanied by the #bellunomascherata photo contest. A cheerful and popular event that closes the Carnival period in the capital of the Venetian Dolomites.

Carnival in the heart of Belluno

The Masked Walk is the highlight of the Carnival in Belluno, the capital of the Dolomite province. On Fat Tuesday, the streets and squares of the historic centre come alive with masks and costumes for a grand costumed parade open to everyone, children and adults.

A costumed walk through the city

The event, promoted by the Municipality of Belluno, starts from the city centre with registrations in the afternoon and then proceeds in a procession along the streets of the historic centre. It is a moment of celebration and entertainment that involves families, schools, and citizens, transforming the city's main square into a colourful stage.

The #bellunomascherata photo contest

Accompanying the celebration is the photo contest with the hashtag #bellunomascherata: participants take photos of children in costume in Piazza dei Martiri and post them on social media. The most appreciated photos win an invitation to the closing ceremony of the Carnival at Palazzo Rosso. A way to involve the entire community of Belluno in the most colourful festival of the year.
