About Great Carnival of Bussolengo
The Carnival of Bussolengo
The Great Carnival of Bussolengo is one of the most cherished winter events in the town in the province of Verona, at the foot of Lake Garda. For an entire day, the historic center transforms into a large open-air stage, enlivened by the traditional parade of allegorical floats, costumed groups, and the contagious joy of adults and children.
Floats, Masks, and Confetti
The event is organized by the 'Nati par el Carneval' Committee, with the patronage of the Municipality of Bussolengo. The floats, the result of months of work by local groups, parade through the town's streets accompanied by music, dancing, and a shower of confetti. It is a celebration designed primarily for families and children, who can experience the magic of masks and colors up close.
A Community Tradition
The Bussolengo Carnival is much more than a parade: it is a gathering moment for the entire community of the town and its hamlets. The day concludes with the final pasta dish, in collaboration with the local AVIS, a symbol of the convivial and supportive dimension of this Veronese festival.
