Carnaval de Montrouge

The Carnaval de Montrouge: a colorful cavalcade in the heart of the city

Montrouge (92120) is a commune in the Hauts-de-Seine with approximately 50,000 inhabitants, bordering the 14th arrondissement of Paris. A dynamic and commercial town, Montrouge is known for its lively market, numerous associations, and intense neighborhood life. Each year, the Carnival enlivens its streets with a festive cavalcade eagerly awaited by residents.

The costumed cavalcade

The Carnaval de Montrouge is structured around a costumed cavalcade that travels through the main streets of the town around Mardi gras. Groups of costumed participants—associations, neighborhood committees, families—parade in the street in an atmosphere of collective joy. The costumes, prepared with care in the weeks preceding the event, compete in originality and creativity for the delight of spectators gathered on the sidewalks.

Festive entertainment for the whole family

Alongside the main parade, the Carnaval de Montrouge offers festive entertainment suitable for everyone: face painting and costume workshops for children, music and dance in public spaces, food stalls with Mardi gras specialties. The town mobilizes its associations and staff to offer a festive day accessible to all Montrouge residents.

Montrouge, a city of culture and festivals

Montrouge is a culturally active city that organizes numerous events each year. The Festival de Guitare de Montrouge is notably one of the essential events on the national program for lovers of chamber music and classical guitar. The Carnival, with its popular and participatory nature, complements this varied cultural offering and testifies to the town's festive dynamism.
