About Pianico Carnival

The Pianico Carnival is the masked festival that enlivens the small village overlooking the Upper Lake of Iseo every winter, in the province of Bergamo. Based at the oratory on Via Roma, the day begins with the gathering of costumed participants, continues with a colorful parade through the village streets, and ends with snacks and games for the little ones. A simple and family-friendly event, designed especially for children, which brings joy and tradition to the heart of Pianico during the carnival season.

The Carnival of the Village on the Upper Lake of Iseo

In Pianico, a small municipality in the province of Bergamo overlooking the Upper Lake of Iseo, carnival is a village and family-sized festival. The meeting point is the oratory, on Via Roma, from where a day entirely dedicated to costumes and children begins.

From the Parade to the Snack

The program is simple and tried-and-tested: in the early afternoon, participants gather at the oratory, then the masked parade starts through the village streets, with confetti, costumes, and lots of fun. Upon return, the oratory welcomes everyone for snacks and games, in an informal atmosphere that is the true spirit of this community celebration.

A Village Tradition

Organized with the involvement of the oratory and local organizations, the Pianico Carnival is one of those events that mark the calendar of the small Orobie villages. No monumental floats or large-scale spectacles, but an authentic festival that puts children and the pleasure of gathering at the center, enhancing the village's streets and spaces. It's also a perfect opportunity for visitors who want to discover the authenticity of the traditions of the Upper Lake of Iseo.
