The Voghera Carnival 2025 Program

The grand celebration will take place on Sunday, March 9, with a day full of unmissable events that will animate the streets of the city center.

The Highlight: The Descent of Buricinèla

At 11:30 AM, all eyes will be on Voghera’s Cathedral, where the famous carnival character, Buricinèla, will make a spectacular descent to symbolically receive the keys to the city from Mayor Paola Garlaschelli. This evocative moment will officially mark the beginning of the celebrations, reinforcing the deep bond between the city’s history and culture.

Parade of Floats and Masquerade Groups

The true heart of the Voghera Carnival will be the grand parade of allegorical floats, starting at 2:00 PM from Piazzale Fermi. The procession will pass through the main streets of the city, including Viale Repubblica and Via Cavour, before reaching Piazza Duomo, where the celebration will continue with performances and entertainment.

Local associations, including Amo Voghera and La Clessidra, with the patronage of the Municipality of Voghera, have worked hard to restore this tradition to its former glory. The floats, carefully and creatively crafted, will offer a mix of satire, fantasy, and color, bringing excitement to all attendees.
