L’è turna’ Buricinèla: Voghera Carnival is back in full swing amid tradition and fun

The Voghera Carnival is back, bringing to life a much-loved tradition cherished by the local community. “L’è turna’ Buricinèla” is the name of the 2025 edition, an event that promises to transform the city into an explosion of colors, music, and fun, thanks to the return of floats and engaging activities for both adults and children.

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.

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.

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.

Beyond the spectacular parade, the Carnival will feature a wide range of activities to engage the public:

• Dance performances: At 12:00 PM, talented dancers from local dance schools will perform captivating choreographies.
• Food area: Throughout the day, Piazza Duomo will host food stands offering delicious local specialties.
• Music and entertainment: In the afternoon, DJ Carletto will keep the party alive with his music selection, making everyone dance until evening.
