Carnerival — Carnival of Riva di Suzzara

The Carnival of a Hamlet that Builds Community

Carnerival is the Carnival of the hamlet of Riva di Suzzara, in the Municipality of Suzzara and in the Province of Mantua. More than just a masked parade, it is the festival where an entire community comes together: it is organized by volunteers from the oratory along with the "Riva per Riva" association, who transform the hamlet's streets into a stage of color, joy, and participation every year.

Masks, Sweets, and Entertainment

The afternoon is designed primarily for the little ones: children in costume parade, while entertainment provides soap bubbles, balloons, and games. There are also traditional carnival sweets and music with a DJ to warm up the atmosphere. The highlight is the award ceremony for the most original masks, which celebrates the creativity and effort of those who prepared the costumes.

A Festival Driven by Volunteering

The heart of Carnerival is the spirit of volunteering that drives it: without the commitment of the oratory and the volunteers of "Riva per Riva," the festival would not exist. It is an example of how, even in a small hamlet, the desire to be together can generate an event eagerly awaited all year round, capable of uniting different generations around the simple joy of Carnival.
