Romont Carnival

The Romont Carnival began in the 1950s and was relaunched in 1975. In 1983, the Comité d'Organisation du Carnaval, SOC Romont, was created, adding a masked ball to the festivities. In 1984, the satirical newspaper "La Socque" appeared for the first time. In 1987, the Carnival expanded with the introduction of the Bonhomme Hiver and the participation of local societies. Guggenmusiks were introduced in 1988. The first Carnival medal was launched in 1991, offering free access to events. The Carnival continued to grow with concerts, festivals and competitions, and annual events were established, such as the unveiling of the theme at the Braderie de Romont and the release of "La Socque". A convivial evening at the Hôtel de Ville, with the participation of local guggen "La Décapsuleuse", has also become a tradition.
