A colorful and joyful event designed exclusively for children, which grows in importance with each edition, bringing cheer to the entire community.

During the Carnival season, the streets of the center of Bellona, in the Province of Caserta, transform into a large open-air stage for the Children's Carnival. The event, designed exclusively for the little ones and their families, offers a program full of surprises: costume parades, street performers, roving shows, and free rides that fill the heart of the town with color and joy.

The event is promoted by the Pro Loco of Bellona, led by president Steve Stellato, with the patronage of the Municipality of Bellona and the collaboration of the UNPLI (National Union of Pro Loco of Italy) and the local school institute. The involvement of local schools and associations makes the Children's Carnival an event deeply rooted in the community, capable of bringing different generations together around a simple and genuine celebration.

  • Street performers and roving shows that animate every corner of the route;
  • Free rides made available to children;

A growing tradition

Born as a small neighborhood party, the Children's Carnival of Bellona has become an unmissable event over the years, growing in importance with every edition. Its formula, entirely dedicated to children, is its strength: no competition between large floats, but an afternoon of play, music, and imagination where the absolute protagonists are the little ones.

In a region where Carnival is experienced with great popular participation, the Bellona festival stands out for its family and small-town atmosphere, offering residents and visitors an authentic way to experience this tradition in the Caserta territory.
