About Carnevale di Voghera

The Carnevale di Voghera, "L'è turnà Buricinèla", is the big Carnival party that fills Piazza Duomo with floats, costumes, and music. The protagonist is Buricinèla, the traditional Voghera mask, who officially opens the celebrations before the afternoon parade of floats, with shows, food stalls, and DJ sets.

Carnival in the heart of Voghera

The Carnevale di Voghera returns to light up the city center with colors with the event "L'è turnà Buricinèla", which has brought the party back to Piazza Duomo. The heart of the event is the parade of floats, accompanied by shows, entertainment, and music that transform the square into a large outdoor party for families and children.

Buricinèla, the city's mask

The symbol of Voghera's Carnival is Buricinèla, the city's traditional mask, who officially opens the celebrations. The day alternates performances by dance schools, the arrival of the floats, food stalls with local specialties, and moments of musical entertainment, culminating in a DJ set that closes the party.

A growing festival

Organized by AMO Voghera together with the associations La Clessidra and Oltreunpo' Teatro with the support of the Municipality of Voghera (Province of Pavia), the event attracts thousands of participants every year, confirming itself as one of the most heartfelt events of the Carnival season in the Oltrepò Pavese.
