Carinaro Carnival
Four days of celebration, color, and joy across the squares of Carinaro
About Carinaro Carnival
The Carinaro Carnival
The Carinaro Carnival is the most anticipated winter event in this small town in the Agro Aversano area, in the province of Caserta, in the heart of Campania. Every year, the APS Pro Loco Carinaro «Sant'Eufemia», in collaboration with the Municipality of Carinaro and Unpli Caserta, transforms the town's squares and streets into a large celebration space, bringing color, music, and child-friendly fun.
A festival spread across the town's squares
The unique feature of this Carnival is its itinerant and widespread nature: it is not held in a single location, but across several central points of the town that come alive in turn. Events move from Via Torquato Tasso to Piazza Municipio, from the central Piazza Trieste to the sports center on Via Fratte, involving every neighborhood and bringing families closer to community life. It is a model of a popular festival designed to be accessible, free, and truly participatory for the little ones.
Entertainment, shows, and tradition
The program alternates between moments of pure fun and small live performances. There is no shortage of classic confetti battles, creative workshops, games, and music, alongside juggling, cabaret, magic, illusionism, and ventriloquism acts. The highlight is the masquerade parade, featuring an award for the most original costume, which renews one of the most cherished traditions of the Italian Carnival.
The role of the Pro Loco «Sant'Eufemia»
Behind the event is the voluntary work of the APS Pro Loco Carinaro «Sant'Eufemia», an organization recognized at the national level by Unpli for the quality of its activities. The Carnival is just one of the initiatives through which the association enlivens the Carinaro calendar, enhancing popular traditions and the bond between citizens and their territory.
