Edition 2025 — Ghemme Carnival

In 2025, the Ghemme Carnival once again celebrated its historic mask, King Barlan, with the traditional Chèrnuvée dè Ghèm calendar: school visits, the sovereign's arrival, the satirical dialect speech in Piazza Castello, and the bean feast that brings the town together. A folk festival that renews the identity of the Ghemme community every year in the province of Novara.

The 2025 edition of the Ghemme Carnival brought back the most beloved moments of the Chèrnuvée dè Ghèm tradition. King Barlan and Madama Pèngin brought the town to life with visits to schools, the official arrival of the sovereign, and the famous satirical speech in the Ghemme dialect delivered in Piazza Castello, dedicated to the events and personalities of the year.

As per tradition, the festival concluded with the bean feast, the Fesulaa prepared by the Maestri Ranceri, a moment of conviviality for the whole community. Entertainment and initiatives for children completed the program, confirming the Ghemme Carnival as one of the most cherished events in the Novara area.
