Concesio Joins the Carnival of the Hills

The Carnival of the Hills in Concesio marks the municipality's official entry into the prestigious Carnival of the Hills circuit, a historic event for the region. The celebration takes place in the Pieve district of Concesio, in the Province of Brescia, transforming the Market Square into a large party space for families and children.

Parade Floats and Masks on Display

The heart of the event is the parade of floats and masked groups, which liven up the afternoon with colors, music, and choreography. Accompanying the festivities is music from Radio Bruno, while the square fills with masks, confetti, and joy in the most classic carnival spirit.
