Carnival of the Hills in Manerba del Garda
The final parade of the great traveling carnival between Brescia and Mantua
About Carnival of the Hills — Manerba
A Carnival That Travels Through the Hills
The Carnival of the Hills is a traveling circuit that each year covers various stages in the provinces of Brescia and Mantua, bringing its caravan of floats and masked groups to each town. From Desenzano del Garda to Castiglione delle Stiviere, from Montichiari to Volta Mantovana, the event enlivens the historic centers for weeks, leading up to the grand finale.
The Manerba Stop
Manerba del Garda (Province of Brescia) is one of the stops on the circuit. The evening parade winds through the town center: the floats and masked groups create a spectacular procession, accompanied by the musical entertainment of Radio Bruno, the event's media partner. The evening concludes with the awards ceremony for the groups and floats.
A Celebration for Everyone
The Carnival of the Hills is a deeply popular and family-friendly celebration: elaborate choreography, colorful costumes, and music transform the streets of Manerba into a large open-air spectacle. It is an occasion for the communities of the Brescia Garda region and the upper Mantua area to come together to celebrate the carnival tradition, in a spirit of shared joy.
