Masks, floats, and tradition between Brentino and Belluno Veronese
When February arrives in the narrow valley carved by the Adige River between Monte Baldo and the Lessini Mountains, the small villages of Brentino Belluno, in the province of Verona, dress up for the Traditional Valdadige Carnival. It's one of those genuine local festivals, far from the big media stages, where community participation and the joy of gathering are what truly matter.
The Carnival unfolds across the two main locations of the Municipality. In Brentino, traditional celebrations extend over several days, featuring masks, entertainment, and convivial moments. In Belluno Veronese, the highlight is the 'Ultimo di Carnevale', which falls on Fat Tuesday and beautifully closes the carnival season with the last big party before Lent.
Behind the organization is the Valdadige Committee, the same association that enlivens the valley throughout the year with other traditional, gastronomic, and cultural events. The Carnival is free and open to all: families, costumed children, and curious visitors can immerse themselves in a carefree atmosphere, amidst the courtyards and squares of the riverside villages.
The Veronese Valdadige is a borderland between Veneto and Trentino, marked by terraced vineyards, freshwater trout, and the black truffle of Monte Baldo. Experiencing the Carnival here also means discovering an authentic corner of the province of Verona, where popular traditions endure over time.
The Traditional Valdadige Carnival 2026 enlivened the villages of Brentino Belluno between February 17 and 21, promoted by the Valdadige Committee. In Belluno Veronese, the most anticipated moment was the 'Ultimo di Carnevale' on Tuesday, February 17, Fat Tuesday, with masks and a village festival. In Brentino, traditional celebrations extended over the following days, until February 21, offering the community of the Veronese Valdadige a cheerful interlude of colour and conviviality before Lent.
