About Fiesso Umbertiano Carnival
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 più 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.
