About Carnival in the Oratory

In Seriate, in the Province of Bergamo, Carnival is celebrated in the oratory with two days dedicated to teens and children. It starts with the 'Festa Medie' (Middle School Party), an evening designed for pre-teens, and continues with the Carnival CRE (Summer Recreational Course) for students from first grade to third grade of middle school, a full day of games and entertainment culminating in a masked snack, open to all ages. A cheerful and safe event, in line with the Ambrosian and Bergamasque oratory carnival tradition.
