Vigo Rendena Carnival

The Vigo Rendena Carnival

The Vigo Rendena Carnival is the masked event that every year, on the last Sunday of Carnival, adds color to the village of Vigo in the municipality of Porte di Rendena, in Val Rendena (Trentino-Alto Adige). It is a child-friendly festival, carefully organized by the Pro Loco Vigo Rendena, which has included it for years among the fixed appointments of the local calendar together with the Vigo-Darè Musical Corps, the heart of the area's community life.

A festival for the little ones

The afternoon revolves around the children's parade: dozens of children march through the streets of the center dressed in the most imaginative ways. A small competition rewards the best costumes, distinguishing between individual and group categories. The awards ceremony is one of the most anticipated moments and offers original ideas and many laughs every year, with masks ranging from traditional valley trades to the most imaginative characters.

Local flavors and atmosphere

As per Trentino tradition, the festival is also an opportunity to gather around the flavors of Carnival. The Pro Loco volunteers prepare grostoi (typical Trentino sweet fritters), fritters, hot tea, and mulled wine, offered to adults and children along the parade route. The atmosphere is that of a genuine valley festival, where the entire community of Vigo Rendena gathers to bid farewell to the end of winter together.

In the heart of Val Rendena

The Vigo Rendena Carnival is part of a rich calendar of festivals that enliven the Giudicarie and Val Rendena during the Carnival period, from the large carnivals of Storo and Tione to the parades in neighboring towns. Compared to larger events, the one in Vigo retains an intimate and familiar character, perfect for those visiting the valley with children who want to experience an authentic popular tradition, far from the crowds but no less heartfelt.
