Parade and masked party at the village oratory
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.
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.
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.
The 2026 edition of the Pianico Carnival is confirmed for Sunday, February 15, according to the official portal of the Upper Lake of Iseo. The festival is based at the oratory on Via Roma and unfolds in the afternoon with a gathering, a masked parade, and a final convivial moment with snacks and games for children.
Pianico (BG) is located on the Upper Lake of Iseo, near Lovere and Costa Volpino. It can be reached from the SS42; alternatively, connections to Lovere are useful. The oratory is at Via Roma 3, in the center of the village.
The festival takes place on an afternoon in February, with a gathering at the oratory starting at 2:00 PM.
