On Sunday, February 8, Forlì is getting ready to enjoy an afternoon of celebration with Il Carnevale dei Desideri (The Carnival of Wishes) in Piazza Saffi.

Stilt walkers swaying among the crowd, face painting, comic book superheroes Spiderman, Batman, Robin, Captain America, dancing and singing princesses, large cartoon mascots, Cinderella with her fairy tale carriage, the Queen of Hearts accompanied by her cards, giant dancing flowers; and more, spectacular scenery with balloon sculptures, large rubber balls, giant bubbles, and lots of music with DJ Mitch directly from Radio 105, who will liven up the day from the stage with his non-stop music show, enticing the audience to dance and sing along.
A day dedicated to families and children in costume, the absolute stars of the most colorful party of the year.
The Carnival will kick off with an opening parade of fifty artists who will enter the city center, accompanying the audience to Piazza Saffi and then involving them in fun and merriment.
Stands with sweets, cotton candy, and popcorn will accompany the big party.


Admission is free. 

In case of bad weather, the event will be postponed to Sunday, February 15.
