Prignano sulla Secchia Carnival

The Carnival of Prignano sulla Secchia

When the season of masks arrives, Prignano sulla Secchia, a small municipality in the Modenese Apennines in Emilia-Romagna, also dresses up for the party. The Prignano Carnival is one of those events that are part of the village's cherished calendar: no grand floats from famous cities, but an authentic celebration, built from the ground up, where children and families are the true protagonists.

A Celebration Made by the Community

The event is organized by the Nuova Pro Loco of Prignano, which is the leading association, with the patronage of the Municipal Administration and the enthusiastic collaboration of all local associations. It is precisely this collective involvement that gives the Prignano Carnival its character: an occasion for celebration and sharing truly open to everyone, young and old.

The Masked Parade and the Party in the Gym

The highlight is the traditional children's masked parade (and not only), which winds through the village streets amidst confetti, colorful costumes, and lots of cheer. The parade is followed by the party in the municipal gym, where the refreshment area managed by the Pro Loco and games liven up the afternoon, providing fun for all ages.

A Tradition Rooted in the Territory

Year after year, the Carnival of Prignano sulla Secchia confirms broad participation and great community involvement. It is a demonstration of how, even in a small town in the Province of Modena, popular traditions can bring people together, creating a moment of social interaction that spans generations. For those visiting the Modenese Apennines in winter, it is the perfect opportunity to experience Carnival in its most genuine and local dimension.
