The great parade of floats in Roverbella
Carnevalissimo Roverbellese is one of the most deeply rooted festivals in Roverbella, a municipality in the Alto Mantovano region of the province of Mantua. Now in its sixtieth edition, it is an authentic local Carnival, built year after year by local associations with the passion of those who keep a community tradition alive. The festival spans two days, featuring music, food, and, of course, the eagerly awaited float parade.
The highlight is the grand parade of floats and masks that winds through the town's streets. It's the heart of Carnevalissimo: hours of work and creativity by the associations are transformed into colorful floats, costumes, and choreography that draw the public into a contagious celebration. Everything takes place in a family atmosphere, where children are the true stars.
Alongside the parade, Carnevalissimo offers festive evenings in the square with music and food stalls, as well as shows designed for children: magic, puppets, soap bubbles, and games that liven up the morning. Piazza Italia becomes the nerve center of the festivities, a meeting point for residents and visitors from neighboring towns.
More than a single event, Carnevalissimo Roverbellese is a piece of Roverbella's identity, an event that attracts entire generations each year and tells the festive spirit of the Alto Mantovano region. For those who want to experience a popular and genuine Carnival, far from the major circuits, this is the right destination.
The 2026 edition, the 65th, spreads the festivities over two days. Saturday evening is dedicated to the party in the square, Sunday to the parade of floats and masks along the streets of Roverbella. The event is organized with the support of local associations and the patronage of the Municipality.
