Rotaliana Königsberg Carnival

The Carnival of the Piana Rotaliana

The Rotaliana Königsberg Carnival is a festive event that involves the towns of the Piana Rotaliana Königsberg every year, a renowned wine-growing region at the gates of Trento in Trentino-Alto Adige. Coordinated by the Piana Rotaliana Königsberg Tourist Consortium together with local committees, the carnival moves from town to town throughout February, featuring parades of allegorical floats, costumed groups, and lively street parties. Roverè della Luna is one of the key towns in this widespread calendar.

The festival in Roverè della Luna

In Roverè della Luna, a small town at the northern edge of the plain, the carnival is one of the most anticipated days of the year. Organised by the local Carnival Committee with the support of dozens of volunteers, the parade travels along the main street of the town centre and culminates in Piazza Unità d'Italia. Meticulously crafted floats and costumed walking groups bring the afternoon to life, while the local band leads the parade in accordance with a long-standing tradition.

Flavours and conviviality

The heart of the festival is the conviviality of the squares. The pasta with ragù, prepared and served by the Alpini Group, is a classic feature of the event, accompanied by traditional Trentino carnival sweets like crostoli. The afternoon continues with the awarding of prizes for the best floats and costumed groups, entertainment for children with face painting, and, to conclude, a party with DJs and live music.

A shared tradition

The Roverè della Luna carnival is part of a busy calendar that also includes San Michele all'Adige, Lavis, Nave San Rocco, Mezzocorona, Zambana, and Mezzolombardo. Each town hosts its own day, but all share the same spirit: community participation, the hard work of committees and volunteers, and the desire to gather in the square. For families and those wishing to discover the popular traditions of Trentino, it is an authentic and free occasion.
