Parades, masks and entertainment in the square
The Villasanta Carnival is one of the most beloved events for families in the municipality of the province of Monza and Brianza. Promoted by the Municipal Administration together with the Italian Red Cross – Villasanta Committee and the Pastoral Community Madonna dell'Aiuto, it is a celebration designed primarily for children, but capable of involving the entire town.
The heart of the day are the two traveling entertainment parades that start simultaneously from different points in the town and head towards the center. Along the route, the parades are accompanied by stilt walkers, live music, dance, theater performances, and enchanting soap bubbles. The arrival point is Piazza Martiri della Libertà, which for an afternoon transforms into the center of the celebration with music, dancing, games, and the mask parade.
An area dedicated to children with face painting and cotton candy is set up in the square, while the program continues with entertainment, dancing, and games. A free outdoor event that opens the calendar of events for Villasanta, a town overlooking the Monza Park.
