Masone Carnival
Masks and floats in the hinterland village of Genoa
About Masone Carnival
Carnival in Masone
The Masone Carnival is the traditional Carnival celebration of Masone, a municipality in the Stura Valley in the hinterland of the metropolitan city of Genoa. A deeply felt event by the community, which every year enlivens the square in front of the parish church with masks, colors, and joy.
The parade and the floats
The highlight is the evening parade of masks and floats that winds through the center of the village. After the procession, the celebration continues with awards and musical entertainment, in a fun atmosphere that involves both adults and children.
A festival for the whole community
The Carnival of Masone is not just for adults: the following day is dedicated to the little ones, with the children's carnival and the traditional 'pentolaccia' (piñata). An authentic village festival, which renews the bond of the Masone community with its traditions every year.
