Carnival Parade

Mountain Carnival

The Carnival Parade in Schilpario is the masked festival that animates the village of Val di Scalve, in the province of Bergamo, every year. In a mountain setting, Carnival becomes an occasion for the whole community to celebrate, with children and adults dressing up and parading together through the village streets.

From the Parking Lot to the Oratory

The procession starts from the cross-country ski area parking lot and winds through the entire village to the oratory, in a festive route marked by costumes, colors, and cheerfulness. It's a simple and genuine tradition, whose strength lies in everyone's participation, fostering the typical conviviality of small mountain communities.

A Festival for Families

The parade is designed primarily for families and children, who are its true protagonists. The event is organized by the oratories of Schilpario and Azzone, demonstrating collaboration between the valley communities. It often continues with other activities for children, such as animated film screenings.
