The assessor explained: “As usual, it will be first of all a celebration for children. I’d like to thank the Bosina Family, all the volunteers and the oratories coming also from outside the city. The organization machine is complex, as every year. There will be events for children, youths and families. The culmination of the event will be on Saturday 8, with the float procession.”  “Children are the protagonists, also those who are in hardship,” specified the president of the Bosina Family, “that’s why we organized two moments for them at Anaconda and at the hospital, with entertainment.”

The celebration week will start Saturday 1, after the delivery of the keys of the city from the mayor to Bosino the King. The celebration will take place at 3.30 pm at Palazzo Estense, in the marriage hall, after a procession starting from Nord Station.

In addition, Saturday 8th March, floats and allegoric groups will parade in the centre of Varese, Mulled Wine and cotton candies will be provided and also you will find different and tasty “authorised” gastronomic stands.

After them, there will be the Stilt Walkers “I Giullari del 2000”, who at the end of the parade will perform in Repubblica square, and then the first Bosina Family’s float will lead off, followed by masked groups and at the end the real floats.
