But once a year, the streets burst with color and music for Carnival. This lively celebration has roots in ancient Roman festivals and was later adopted in the Middle Ages as a time to feast and enjoy life before the fasting of Lent.
Today, Ticino’s Carnival is a vibrant mix of Guggenmusik, colorful costumes, and exciting parades. The king and queen of Carnival are handed the keys to the city, and people gather for dancing, music, and delicious food like risotto and luganighe. Ticino’s Carnival is so unique also because it lasts longer than most, stretching all the way to the Saturday before Lent.
The Carnival in Ticino is a joyful fusion of old traditions and modern fun, where the whole community comes together to celebrate life in the most exciting and colorful way possible.
