Atobios de Carrasegae

Atobios de Carrasegae is Paulilatino's annual traditional Sardinian Carnival gathering, held on a Saturday during Carnival season in the town of Paulilatino, province of Oristano, Sardinia. The event features a public parade of traditional Sardinian mask groups through the town streets starting at 15:00, followed by music and folk dancing in the main piazza at 19:00 with the group Fantasias de Ballos, and a late-night event at Salone delle Feste 'Su Sotziu'. The 2026 edition took place on 7 February, with the parade starting from Piazza Itria and evening events in Piazza San Sebastiano. The festival brings together mask traditions from across Sardinia — including Mamuthones and Issohadores from Mamoiada, Boes and Merdules from Ottana, Is Arestes and S'Urtzu Pretistu from Sorgono, Janas from Gergei, Sos Corriolos from Neoneli, and others — with the local Sos Corrajos of Paulilatino acting as the host mask group ('padroni di casa'). The event is tied to ancient Sardinian Carnival cults of Maimone and the god Janus (Giano). Entry is free.
