About Caret a Castion

Artisanal vehicles built with imagination, costumed crews, and plenty of goliardic spirit compete downhill, divided into age categories. A village festival focused on fun, inventiveness, and participation, organized by Pro Loco Pieve Castionese, where not only speed counts but above all originality.
