Edition 2025 — Pontey Carnival

In 2025, the Pontey Carnival with the burning of the Ferpafrapa was not held: the event had been absent from the town for over ten years. It was the Pro Loco, re-established at the end of 2025, that revived the tradition, bringing it back to life only from the February 2026 edition. For this reason, there is no 2025 edition of the event, and it is correct to state this without inventing a program that never took place.

Let's be honest: in 2025, the Pontey Carnival did not take place. The festival, with the characteristic burning of the Ferpafrapa, had been absent from the town for over a decade. Local sources agree in recounting 2026 as the year of its return, made possible by the re-establishment of the Pro Loco of Pontey.

As we have no real program or events for 2025, we will avoid reconstructing a fictional one: the first documented edition of the revival remains that of Saturday, February 14, 2026, in Mesaney.
