About Riviera Carnival

The Riviera Carnival brings to Mira, on the Brenta Riviera, a grand evening parade of allegorical floats and masked groups. Colourful floats and masks from the region parade along Riviera Silvio Trentin and the town's streets, in a free-entry procession that livens up the evening with music and shows. Organised by the Municipality of Mira and Pro Loco Mira, it is one of the most cherished events of the mainland Venetian carnival.

The evening carnival of the Brenta Riviera

The Riviera Carnival is the carnival celebration of the Municipality of Mira, in the province of Venice, along the famous Brenta Riviera, the waterway dotted with Venetian villas that connects Padua to Venice. Unlike many daytime carnivals, here the parade takes place in the evening, giving the allegorical floats a particularly scenic atmosphere.

Floats and masks

The procession is made up of allegorical floats and masked groups from various locations in the region, which liven up the route with music, choreography, and shows. Street food stands are also available along the route. The event, with free entry, is organised by the Municipality of Mira together with Pro Loco Mira.

The route

The parade crosses the heart of Mira along Riviera Silvio Trentin, Via Fornace, Riviera Matteotti, and Via Nazionale. Temporary traffic restrictions will be in place along the affected streets during the procession.
