The Carnival spread through the hamlets of Mirano until the grand finale in Piazza Martiri
About Mirano Carnival
A widespread Carnival in the city and its hamlets
"Carnevale è... Mirano" is the event that brings the Carnival celebration to all of Mirano, in the province of Venice, and its hamlets. The programme unfolds over several days, each set in a different district, culminating in the grand finale in Piazza Martiri della Libertà.
Seventeenth-century tradition and Pulcinella
The grand finale features the Mirano Philharmonic band in 1700s costume and the evocative descent of Pulcinella from the Town Hall, performed by CAI mountaineers. The Carnival Caravan brings together the hamlets of Ballò, Campocroce, Scaltenigo, Vetrego, and Zianigo in a procession, an explosion of masks, music, and colours.
A celebration for the community
With games, entertainment, fritters, galani, a grand costume parade for children, and theatre performances, Mirano Carnival is designed primarily for children and families. The event is organised by the Municipality of Mirano together with neighbourhood committees, parishes, and local associations.
Mirano Carnival — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of "Carnevale è... Mirano" takes place from February 7th to 16th, covering districts and hamlets of the city. Each day is set in a different location, with games, entertainment, fritters, and galani, leading up to the grand finale on February 16th in Piazza Martiri della Libertà.
The highlight is the final parade with the Mirano Philharmonic band in 1700s costume, the descent of Pulcinella from the Town Hall, and the Carnival Caravan featuring the hamlets in procession.
