About Carnival in the Neighborhoods

Carnival in the Neighborhoods is Monza's distributed Carnival, featuring celebrations held in various city districts. From parks to civic centers, from oratories to schools, every corner of the city comes alive with parades, creative workshops, baby dance, games, and snacks for children and families. A local Carnival that brings the joy of masks beyond the city center, involving Monza's neighborhood communities in a participatory, child-friendly celebration.

A Local Carnival

Carnival in the Neighborhoods is the distributed version of the Carnival of Monza, the capital of Brianza. Unlike the large central celebrations, this initiative brings the joy of masks directly into the city neighborhoods, with events spread across parks, civic centers, oratories, and schools. It's a local Carnival, designed to involve local communities and families where they live.

Parades, Workshops, and Games

The program is full of activities designed for children: masked parades starting from schools, creative workshops, baby dance, games, face painting, and snacks. Each neighborhood organizes its own events, often in collaboration with local associations, preschools, and marching bands, creating moments of shared celebration and community gathering for families in the area.

The Celebration that Unites the Neighborhoods

Carnival in the Neighborhoods complements the city's Carnival offerings, alongside the parades in the historic center. Its strength lies precisely in its distributed and community-focused nature: instead of concentrating everything in one square, it spreads the celebration, enhancing Monza's various neighborhoods and making Carnival accessible to everyone. For families in Brianza, it's an opportunity to experience the festivities close to home, in an atmosphere of joy and sharing.

What to Expect

  • Carnival celebrations spread across Monza's neighborhoods
