CARBONERA
In Carbonera, on Sunday 1 February, the allegorical float parade will start at 2.30 pm from Via 1° Maggio and end in Piazza Fabris, in front of the town hall. A distinctive feature of the event is the strong involvement of schools and local associations: 22 groups and floats will take part, with live commentary by Silvia Sartorel.
Organised by Carnevali di Marca, the parade will open with the Gruppo Amici dello Schnappvieh of Villorba and the historic Majorettes Onda Azzurra of Jesolo. They will be followed by numerous school groups, sports clubs and associations, as well as many themed floats, including “Lilo & Stitch”, “Toy Story”, “Super Mario”, “Ralph Breaks the Internet” and many others, making it one of the most vibrant and participatory events of the season.
GIAVERA DEL MONTELLO

The afternoon will be further enhanced by the involvement of local associations, including the Pro Loco Vivi Mareno, which will run a well-stocked food stand.
PIEVE DI SOLIGO
In Pieve di Soligo, on Sunday 1 February from 2.30 pm, one of the most traditional parades of the Carnevali di Marca season will take place. The procession of floats will pass through several streets and squares of the town centre.
