About Pré-Saint-Didier Carnival

In Pré-Saint-Didier, at the foot of Mont Blanc, Carnival is a celebration designed for children and families. In Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, an afternoon of entertainment with face painting, free cotton candy, a costume parade, and awards for the most original masks, with a grand surprise finale by the artists of Fem Spettacoli. The day concludes with a snack for the children and a Carnival dinner in the square.

The Children's Carnival

The Pré-Saint-Didier Carnival, a municipality in Valdigne in the Province of Aosta, is a village festival primarily dedicated to children and families. The heart of the event is Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, which for an afternoon transforms into a large space for games and color, with masks, costumes, and entertainment. The event is organized by the Municipality and the Pro Loco of Pré-Saint-Didier.

An Afternoon of Celebration

The program alternates moments of entertainment and games: welcome in the square with the face painting area and free distribution of cotton candy, a children's costume parade, and awards for the most original masks. The afternoon culminates with a grand surprise finale by the artists of Fem Spettacoli, followed by a snack for the little ones.

Dinner in the Square

The day concludes with the Carnival dinner in the square, a convivial moment that brings the entire community together. A simple and genuine celebration, which keeps alive the carnival tradition of a small mountain village in the heart of Valdigne, at the entrance to the valley leading to Courmayeur and Mont Blanc.
