Edition 2025 — Comeliano Carnival

In 2025, the Comeliano Carnival enlivened the hamlets of Comelico Superiore according to Ladin tradition. In Dosoledo, the maskarada was celebrated on the Sunday closest to February 9th, the day of Sant'Apollonia, with the parade of lachè, matazin, and wooden masks to the rhythm of polka.

The 2025 edition of the Comeliano Carnival confirmed the vitality of one of the most fascinating traditions of the Belluno Dolomites. In the hamlets of Comelico Superiore, lachè, matazin, and wooden masks paraded through the villages to the rhythm of polka played on accordion, double bass, guitars, and violin.

In Dosoledo, the maskarada took place as every year on the Sunday closest to February 9th, the day of Sant'Apollonia, with the grand parade in the square, while the other hamlets offered their own festive moments, culminating in the final dances in the Regola hall.
