About Carnevale di Voghera
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.
Carnevale di Voghera — edition 2026
