Edition 2025 — Valduggia Carnival

In 2025, the Valduggia Carnival once again brought the upper Valsesia village to life with its traditional program: the arrival of King Zors and Marjin, the handing over of the town keys, neighborhood parades, dance parties, and convivial moments centered around tripe and beans, culminating in the final burning of King Zors on Shrove Tuesday. A festival that renews the popular and satirical spirit of the Valduggia community every year.

The 2025 edition of the Valduggia Carnival confirmed the strength of a tradition that has been running uninterrupted in Valduggia, in the province of Vercelli, since 1955. As is customary, the festival opened with the arrival of the historic masks King Zors and Marjin and the symbolic handing over of the town keys.

In the following weeks, the neighborhoods of Valduggia and its hamlets enlivened parades and dance parties, while traditional gastronomy — primarily tripe and beans — accompanied the convivial moments. The carnival concluded, as tradition dictates, with the torchlight procession, the reading of the will, the awarding of the Palio, and the burning of King Zors.
