Trinità Carnival

The Trinità Carnival

The Trinità Carnival is one of the most cherished traditions in the winter calendar of this small town in the Province of Cuneo, in the heart of the Piedmontese plains. For two days, the entire village transforms into a large open-air party: streets and squares fill with masks, confetti, and families in costume, creating a joyful atmosphere that involves both young and old.

A community village festival

Unlike large carnivals featuring allegorical float parades, the Trinità event retains the intimate and popular character of a true village festival. The heart of the event is Piazza Umberto I, where residents, children, and families gather to share an afternoon of entertainment and tradition. The celebration also reaches the local nursing home, a sign of a community that seeks to include everyone in its moments of joy.

Entertainment and traditional sweets

The program focuses primarily on children, with entertainment, games, and workshops tailored to them. There is no shortage of typical Piedmontese carnival flavors: the essential bugie (traditional sweet fritters), bread and salami, Nutella, and drinks offered to participants. In recent editions, entertainment has been provided by performer Stefano Vigliani, known as "Zimba," who led the grand children's party hosted in the municipal gym.

A tradition supported by the territory

The event is organized by the Municipality of Trinità with the invaluable contribution of local volunteers and the support of regional sponsors, including the Cassa di Risparmio di Fossano. It is this network of participation that makes an accessible and free festival for the entire citizenry possible, year after year.
