Parade of boats and masks on the streets and canals of Comacchio, starting from the monumental Trepponti bridge.
The boats are transformed into real allegorical vessels, becoming original works of art. Each boat, with its own theme, glides through the waters of the historic center, carrying and engaging all participants and filling canals, alleys, and squares with joy.

From 2.00 pm, the parade of float boats will set off along the canals, from which gadgets and sweets will be handed out, whilst dance and fitness schools will perform on the Trepponti, the town’s iconic monument. Once the parade is over, the festivities will continue with dancing and entertainment.

Sunday 14 February will conclude with the prize-giving ceremony. 
And this year, the Carnival falls on Valentine’s Day itself: all the more reason to spend the day in Comacchio as a couple!


(In the event of bad weather, the event will be postponed to February 21st and 28th, 2027).
