About Noventa in Maschera

When Carnival arrives, Noventa di Piave (province of Venice) dresses up for a party with Noventa in Maschera, an event of the Venetian metropolitan Carnival. Allegorical floats and walking groups parade through the town's streets, while in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, gazebos distribute typical Carnival sweets and children have fun with the costume contest and face painting. A popular festival organized by the Pro Loco that involves schools, neighborhood associations, and the entire community.

The Carnival of Noventa di Piave

Noventa in Maschera is the Carnival festival of Noventa di Piave (province of Venice, Veneto) and is part of the calendar of the Metropolitan City of Venice's Metropolitan Carnival. The event is organized by Pro Loco Noventa di Piave together with the Neighborhood Associations and the Youth Municipal Council.

Allegorical floats and masks in the square

The heart of the festival is the parade of allegorical floats and walking groups along the town's streets. In Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, gazebos distribute typical Carnival food and sweets, offered by the Pro Loco and associations, while the face painting station remains active throughout the event.

A festival involving schools

Among the most cherished events is the selection and awarding of masks for beauty, originality, and charm, partly entrusted to the Youth Municipal Council. Furthermore, every year, the Comprehensive Institute organizes a drawing contest with the Municipal Administration and the Pro Loco to choose the icon for the edition. Noventa in Maschera is thus an intergenerational festival, which combines Venetian Carnival tradition with community participation.
