The Carnival Square

The carnival that unites the neighborhoods

In Pioltello, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the Martesana area, Carnival has a specific name and location: La Piazza del Carnevale, in the Seggiano district. The unique aspect of this festival is that the masked parades start from the different city districts and all converge in the square of the Beata Vergine Assunta church, creating a great collective moment.

An afternoon of entertainment

Once gathered in the square, the costumed participants will find a rich program of entertainment, especially designed for children: the magic sphere for taking souvenir photos, the "Enchanted Castle" inflatable slide, cotton candy, and the "Color the Masks" creative workshop. Stilt walkers and percussionists will liven up the afternoon, accompanying the festival with music and shows.

Tradition and participation

The delicious and traditional aspect is not forgotten, with chiacchiere distributed by the city parishes at their stands. To encourage family participation, the family with the most original costume is awarded a board game: a way to involve parents and children in a single shared celebration.

A festival for the whole city

Promoted by the Pro Loco of Pioltello in collaboration with the city parishes and the Municipality, La Piazza del Carnevale is a free event that puts the community at the center. By bringing the neighborhoods together in one square, it embodies the spirit of a city that chooses to celebrate together, valuing the Seggiano district and its traditions.
