Intro

The Bellinzona Carnival, better known as Rabadan, has been one of the major events in Ticino for over 150 years.

A popular festival that has gained an important place among the "top events", but has not lost its traditional character. The foolish event takes place over 6 days and nights in the kingdom of King Rabadan. In addition to parades, Guggenmusik concerts, rope pulling tournaments, risotto and luganighe (pork sausages) are distributed in the old town. Various marquees with music provide space for the numerous carnival visitors throughout the night until sunrise. The entire old town is transformed into a big carnival ball, where the stars in the night sky turn into confetti.
