154th Monthey Carnival

Sobre este lugar

From Thursday onwards, the streets are filled with mysterious masks, sparkling floats and the cheerful notes of "guggenmusik" ensembles. The festivities are everywhere: mask competitions where creativity explodes, lively bistros where the world is re-enacted, and the famous confetti throw that adorns the town center in a multicoloured coat, like a shower of joy on amazed passers-by. On Sundays, the procession marches along, a living fresco that tackles the issues of the day with humor and daring. Curious and enthusiastic crowds flock to admire the works of Monthey and Chablais builders, true artists of the ephemeral. Carnival is also the magic of a prince, the elegance of his "misses", the mischief of a satirical newspaper, the rhythm of the Pimponicaille and the diversity of its processions, making every moment an enchanted interlude, out of time. But the Monthey Carnival is much more than a festival: it's a breath of unity, a popular fervor that unites, transcends borders and thrills an entire community. Here, we don't just talk about it: we live it, we share it, we remember it long after the confetti has fallen. Come and join the dance, and let yourself be carried away by the magic of Monthey Carnival! Note: This text was translated by machine translation software and not by a human translator.
