About Onara Carnival

The Onara Carnival is the traditional Carnival festival of the hamlet of Onara, in Tombolo (province of Padua). Organized by Pro Loco Onara, it features the historic parade of allegorical floats and masked groups that, for over fifty years, has enlivened the streets of the town in February. A community event involving volunteers, families, and children in a popular festival of colors, masks, and joy.

The Carnival of a Community

The Onara Carnival is the Carnival festival of the hamlet of Onara, in the municipality of Tombolo (province of Padua). With a long tradition – over half a century of editions – it is organized by Pro Loco Onara and represents one of the most cherished events in the town's winter calendar.

The Parade of Allegorical Floats

The heart of the festival is the parade of allegorical floats and masked groups, which takes place on a Sunday in February along the streets of Onara. The floats, the result of volunteers' work, parade alongside masks and costumed figures in a colorful procession that draws families and enthusiasts from all over the area, in the best tradition of Venetian village carnivals.

A Village Festival

Promoted by Pro Loco Onara (based in Via Chiesa), the Onara Carnival is a community festival that keeps local popular traditions alive. In addition to the parade, the event is a moment of gathering for the town, with a particular focus on children. Pro Loco includes it every year in its calendar of events, confirming a deep connection with the territory of Tombolo.
