About Fiesso Umbertiano Carnival

The Fiesso Umbertiano Carnival colours two late winter Sundays in Fiesso Umbertiano, in the Rovigo area of Polesine: giant allegorical floats parade through the village streets accompanied by musical bands and flag-wavers, amidst confetti throws, a mini-train, inflatables, and food stalls. Organised by the Pro Loco, it's a celebration designed for families and children, with contests for the most amusing masks and lots of carefree fun.

The Carnival of Fiesso Umbertiano

The Fiesso Umbertiano Carnival is the traditional carnival celebration of Fiesso Umbertiano, a municipality in the province of Rovigo in the heart of Polesine. The event takes place over two Sundays and transforms the village streets into a route of colours, music, and joy, organised by the Pro Loco of Fiesso Umbertiano with the support of the Municipality.

Giant Floats, Bands, and Flag-Wavers

The absolute stars are the giant allegorical floats that parade through the streets, accompanied by musical groups, bands, and flag-wavers, some from outside the province. Confetti and balloon throws engage the public, while the mini-train and inflatables entertain the little ones. There are also food stalls with sandwiches, crostoli, and drinks.

A Celebration for Families

The Fiesso Umbertiano Carnival is an event primarily designed for children and families: among the initiatives, the "La Mascherina piรน simpatica" (The Most Amusing Little Mask) contest with on-site registration and prizes for all participants, and the involvement of local nursery schools. An event that brings the fun and carefree spirit of carnival to the centre of Polesine.
