Masquerade Carnival Party
The big Carnival party at Fuori Orario in Taneto di Gattatico
About Masquerade Carnival Party
The wildest Carnival in the Reggio Emilia lowlands
The Masquerade Carnival Party is the highlight of Carnival at the Circolo Arci Fuori Orario, a historic venue in Taneto, a hamlet of the Municipality of Gattatico in the province of Reggio Emilia (Emilia-Romagna). For about thirty years, this night has transformed the Fuori Orario spaces into a grand masked ball, with seven hours of non-stop music, live shows, special effects, themed sets, and spectacular LED wall shows.
Three dance floors for every taste
The musical organization is by TempoRock, a group that has been energizing the venue's evenings for years. The sound selection covers a wide range of genres distributed across three dedicated dance floors, ensuring everyone can find their niche: from pop-rock to reggaeton, and even metal. It seamlessly transitions from radio hits to classic rock anthems, from cartoon theme songs to heavier sounds, in a night designed to keep you dancing non-stop.
The mask parade and prizes
The heart of the evening is the traditional mask parade: costumes are not mandatory but are highly recommended, as there are significant prizes up for grabs. The most original masks and the most extravagant couples compete annually for trips, reserved tables, and free drinks, in a fun competition that has become an integral part of the party's identity.
A benchmark for nightlife entertainment
For decades, Fuori Orario has been one of the most well-known venues in the area between Reggio Emilia and Parma, easily accessible from the Via Emilia and the highway. The Masquerade Carnival Party represents one of the most cherished events in its calendar, attracting a large and loyal audience that makes this February night one of the most beloved occurrences of the Reggio Emilia Carnival.
