About Sospirolo Carnival

The Sospirolo Carnival, in the province of Belluno, is not a classic parade of floats but a large masked walk that crosses the hamlets of the town, at the foot of the Belluno Dolomites. Hundreds of participants, masked groups and lots of creativity liven up a route that starts from Ai Fant and touches Torbe, Regolanova, Camolino and Gron. Prizes for the most original masks and the largest groups conclude a deeply felt popular festival.

A masked walk through the hamlets

The Sospirolo Carnival, in Valbelluna (province of Belluno), has a special formula: not a parade of allegorical floats but a large masked walk that crosses the hamlets of the Municipality. It is an event that combines the fun of Carnival with the pleasure of walking together, immersed in the landscape at the foot of the Belluno Dolomites.

A route through the villages

The masked procession starts from Ai Fant and winds through the hamlets of Torbe, Regolanova, Camolino and Gron, up to the final gathering for the awards. Each year the walk proposes a theme that inspires costumes and masked groups, with hundreds of participants coloring the town's streets. Prizes are awarded to the most original masks and the largest and most creative groups.

A community celebration

The Sospirolo Carnival is organized by the Pro Loco Monti del Sole together with AIB Sospirolo, the Gos da Gron group and the hamlet committees, with the involvement of many local realities. It is a celebration that well represents the community spirit of the Valbelluna villages, where even Carnival becomes an opportunity to come together and walk through the hamlets.
