About Olgiate Comasco Carnival
Half a century of carnival
The Olgiate Comasco Carnival, in Olgiate Comasco in the province of Como, celebrates an important milestone in 2026: its 50th edition. Organized by the Pro Loco of Olgiate Comasco, it is one of the most deeply rooted events in the Como region, capable of involving the entire community in days of celebration every year.
Three days of festivities
The event unfolds over several days: from the opening of the food stands and evening parties on Friday, to the Children's Carnival on Saturday, culminating in the grand parade on Sunday. The Sunday procession is the highlight, with masked groups and allegorical floats crossing the town center from Via Repubblica to Piazza Italia, accompanied by Larian flag-wavers and musicians.
