About Villair Carnival
A Neighborhood Carnival in Aosta
The Villair Carnival is one of the most cherished Carnival celebrations in the city of Aosta, the capital of the Aosta Valley. It takes place in the Villair district and keeps alive the popular tradition of the village carnival: an allegorical and historical parade that winds through the neighborhood streets, involving both adults and children.
A Celebration for Families
Unlike the major historical Carnivals of the Aosta Valley, such as those in Verrès or Pont-Saint-Martin, the Villair Carnival maintains an intimate and family-friendly dimension. Masks, floats, and costumed groups liven up the afternoon, with children being the true protagonists of the day, amidst costumes, confetti, and games.
Carnival in the Aosta Valley
The Carnival period is particularly vibrant throughout the region: from the Coumba Freida with its famous landzette to the historical carnivals of the lower valley, each municipality celebrates this time of year in its own way. The Villair Carnival fits into this rich tradition with the spontaneity and warmth typical of district festivals, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into Aosta neighborhood life.
