About Chiampo Carnival

The Chiampo Carnival is one of the earliest carnival events in the province of Vicenza: every year, the parade of allegorical floats colors the streets of the center of Chiampo, accompanied by music, masks, and entertainment. Organized by the Pro Loco, it is an eagerly awaited festival for all ages in the Chiampo Valley, with an evening party at the Palatenda serving as the evening venue.

The Carnival of the Chiampo Valley

In Chiampo, in the province of Vicenza, Carnival is a deeply felt tradition: the Chiampo Carnival is indeed one of the earliest carnivals in the province, with a parade of allegorical floats that crosses the streets of the center amidst music, masks, and confetti. The event, organized by the Pro Loco Chiampo, attracts families and curious visitors from all over the valley every year.

The Float Parade

The highlight is the parade of allegorical floats, created by local groups, accompanied by radio entertainment and music that transforms the center of Chiampo into a large outdoor party. Masks and costumed figures complete a colorful and participatory procession.

Party and Tradition

Alongside the parade, the program includes an evening party at the Palatenda, with music and fun to cheerfully conclude the Carnival day. A tradition that renews the popular and community spirit of the Chiampo Valley.
