Costume parade, magic, and snacks in the heart of the village
In the small town of Oleggio Castello, in the Province of Novara, the Carnival is one of the most anticipated winter events. Organized by the Municipality together with Pro Oleggio Castello, it is a festival designed primarily for children and families, filling the village streets with confetti, costumes, and joy every year.
The heart of the event is the costume parade: participants gather in Piazza Comolli, from where the procession winds through the center to the Pro Oleggio Castello headquarters. Along the route, there is no shortage of music, entertainment, and fun, creating a festive atmosphere that involves both young and old.
Oleggio Castello is located in the hilly Vergante area, just a few kilometers from Lake Maggiore: a location that makes the festival a perfect opportunity for those visiting the Piedmontese lakes. The Carnival is a community moment where local associations and volunteers serve the town to provide an afternoon of lightheartedness.
Each edition features a different theme that serves as a common thread for costumes and scenery: in 2026, the protagonist is the world of Disney, with masks inspired by the most beloved cartoon characters. The day concludes with the awarding of the best costumes and a snack offered to all participants.
On Sunday, February 8, 2026, Oleggio Castello celebrated Carnival with an edition entirely dedicated to the world of Disney. Children and families gathered in Piazza Comolli to bring to life a procession of masks inspired by the most beloved cartoon characters.
The parade started from the square towards the Pro Oleggio Castello headquarters, accompanied by music and entertainment. The festival was organized by the Municipality of Oleggio Castello together with Pro Oleggio Castello, with the usual entertainment program for the little ones.
In case of bad weather, the festival was scheduled to be postponed to Sunday, February 15, 2026.
Oleggio Castello is located in the Province of Novara, in the Vergante area near Lake Maggiore. By car, it can be reached via the A26 motorway (Arona or Borgomanero exit) and local provincial roads. The festival meeting point is in Piazza Comolli, in the town center.
The meeting point is at 2:00 PM in Piazza Comolli, from where the parade departs towards the Pro Oleggio Castello headquarters.
Participation is free and open to everyone, with entertainment specifically designed for children and families.
