Oria Carnival – Masks and Confetti

Oria Carnival 2025

In 2025, the «Maschere e Coriandoli» Carnival took place in Oria on Sunday, March 2, and Tuesday, March 4, confirming the success of previous editions. Both days featured the allegorical float parade starting at 4:00 PM from near the Villa Comunale, winding through the city streets to Piazza Municipio.

Upon the arrival of the floats in the square, the public was entertained by the cover band «Iper Galattici», which engaged both adults and children with cartoon theme songs. The grand finale on Shrove Tuesday offered the traditional 'pentolaccia' skill challenge, the game where, blindfolded and with a stick, participants try to break a hanging container filled with sweets and surprises.

The event, free and family-friendly, was organized by the Pro Loco of Oria with the patronage and collaboration of the Municipal Administration.
