Have you ever thought about how a popular festival can become the beating heart of a community? In Castion, a hamlet of Belluno, Carnival is a tradition that has been celebrated for over 60 years and expresses the bond between the inhabitants and the territory.
If you want to experience the atmosphere of a Carnival that is first and foremost a popular festival and a collective effort, Castion is the perfect place to spend an afternoon of fun, color, and great energy.
While archaic masquerades pass down ancestral rituals, the Castion Carnival celebrates togetherness and fun in a direct and engaging way! For the locals, it is an opportunity to gather at Pian delle Feste to take part in the parade of large allegorical floats and amusing masks.
Thus, the work of days and weeks—carried out in the cold, in garages and warehouses—materializes in surprising creations of technique and imagination: you will be amazed to see how the many volunteers who work behind the scenes in preparing the Carnival surpass themselves every year in designing and building these temporary masterpieces! The event truly brings everyone together: young and old parade together on a day of carefree joy.
