About Castel d'Azzano Carnival
Carnival on the Outskirts of Verona
In Castel d'Azzano, a municipality on the southern outskirts of Verona, Carnival is an event rooted in popular tradition. Every year, the historic center comes alive for the grand parade of floats, built by local carnival committees, accompanied by masked groups, colorful costumes, and music.
A Celebration for the Entire Community
The parade winds through the town's streets, transforming it into a widespread celebration, with stalls, craft markets, food stands, food trucks, and rides for children. The event is included in the coordinated calendar of carnivals in the province of Verona, which attracts thousands of participants to the squares of the region every year.

The Veronese Carnival has a long history, linked to the figure of the Papà del Gnoco and the city's bacchanals; in the provincial municipalities, like Castel d'Azzano, this tradition is expressed through popular local parades that keep the popular and community spirit of the festival alive.
