Murazzano Carnival

The Murazzano Carnival, a village festival in the Alta Langa

The Murazzano Carnival is one of the most anticipated winter events for this small town in the Alta Langa, in the province of Cuneo, in the heart of Piedmont. Known primarily for its famous PDO robiola cheese, Murazzano opens its main square for a colorful and family-friendly celebration, designed to involve both young and old in an afternoon of joy and carnival traditions.

A masquerade afternoon for the whole family

The heart of the event is Piazza Monsignor Dadone, which comes alive in the early afternoon with children and adults in costume. The program is specifically dedicated to the little ones, with games, music, dancing, face painting, and entertainment that fill the town center with vibrancy. In case of bad weather, the party is not cancelled but moves indoors to the Gatti-Pagliano multipurpose hall, ensuring the event goes ahead even in uncertain weather, as happened in the 2026 edition.

Costume awards and seasonal treats

One of the most anticipated moments is the award ceremony for the three best costumes of the day, which highlights the imagination and creativity of families and children. This is followed by the most delicious part of the day, with the distribution of typical Piedmontese Carnival specialties: polenta, bugie (traditional carnival fritters), and other seasonal sweets, accompanied by drinks for all participants.

A tradition that unites the town

Organized with the support of the Murazzano Municipal Administration and local associations, the Carnival represents a meeting point for the entire Alta Langa community. It is a simple and genuine celebration, far from the grand historical carnivals but deeply rooted in the life of the town, capable of transforming a winter day into a moment of sharing, color, and fun for residents and visitors alike.
