Monthey Carnival | Monthey
Celebration
For six consecutive days, the town of Monteté transformed into an open-air theater, vibrant with color, jubilation, and passion. Starting Thursday, the streets were filled with mysterious masks, glittering floats, and the lively sounds of the Guggenheim band. Everywhere you looked, the festive spirit was palpable: creative mask competitions, bustling restaurants where people chatted freely, and the famous confetti rain that blanketed the town center like a colorful cloak, bringing endless joy to passersby. On Sunday, a grand parade unfolded like a vivid mural, satirizing current events with humor and boldness. Curious and enthusiastic crowds flocked to admire the masterpieces of the artisans of Monteté and Sabrae—the true creators of these ephemeral arts. The carnival also blended the magic of princes, the elegance of beauty pageant contestants, the wit of satirical newspapers, the rhythm of Pymbonekel, and the colorful processions, making every moment a captivating and timeless interlude. But the Montai Carnival is much more than just a celebration: it symbolizes unity, a passion that brings people together, transcends borders, and resonates throughout the community. Here, we don't just talk about it: we experience it, we share it, and we remember it for a long time after the confetti has flown down. Come, join the festivities and immerse yourself in the magic of the Montai Carnival!
