Edition 2025 — U Matrimoniu

The 2025 Montelepre Carnival took place over several days, from Fat Thursday to the grand finale on Sunday, March 2, with "U Matrimoniu." The community spilled into the square for the goliardic parody of the wedding, a massive open-air dance hall filled with costumes, music, and confetti, as described by Mayor Giuseppe Terranova.

The 2025 edition of the Montelepre Carnival offered a rich calendar of events. Fat Thursday, February 27, at 4:00 PM, "Peppe Animazione" engaged the little ones with Disney-themed games, while at 9:00 PM, the Amadeus marching band performed a serenade under the future "bride's" balcony.

Friday, February 28, and Saturday, March 1, from 4:00 PM, at the Crypt of the Church of Santa Rosalia, the Children's Carnival was held, a singing competition featuring the town's children and teenagers. The grand finale arrived on Sunday, March 2, with "U Matrimoniu": the entire community poured into the square for the goliardic parody of the wedding, a huge open-air dance hall amidst crowds of masks, music, and a shower of confetti and streamers.
