Carnival in Padua. The magic returns to Prato della Valle!

Parade of floats

There will be 11 participating floats, coming from various municipalities in the province of Padua and from other areas of Veneto, for a day of celebration open to all citizens.

Padua is preparing to celebrate Carnival with the traditional parade of allegorical floats, scheduled for Sunday, February 8 at Prato della Valle.

This highly anticipated event will present some organizational changes this year, designed to make the festive day even more engaging for the audience that will reach Prato della Valle from Padua and beyond.

 In case of bad weather, the event will be rescheduled for Monday, February 16.
