Carnevale in Piazza

A children's Carnival in Casale Marittimo

When the mask season arrives, the village of Casale Marittimo, a jewel of the Etruscan Coast in the province of Pisa, dresses up for the occasion. Carnevale in Piazza is an event dedicated to children and families: an afternoon of entertainment, color, and fun that brings the picturesque Piazza del Popolo to life. This panoramic heart of the village, with the Oratory of San Sebastiano in the background, offers one of the most beautiful views in the area.

A party designed for children

Carnevale in Piazza is not a large parade of floats, but an intimate, family-friendly celebration, perfect for the most authentic villages of Tuscany. For a few hours, the square turns into an open-air playground where children can play safely, welcomed by entertainers in Carnival-themed costumes. It is the ideal opportunity to discover the medieval historic center of Casale Marittimo, with its narrow alleys and brick houses enclosed by the ancient castle walls, all while enjoying a day of pure joy.

What happens in the square

• Costumed entertainers who involve children in an afternoon of fun and festivities;
• Creative face painting to transform into favorite characters;
• Balloon modeling to create swords, flowers, and cute animals;
• Group games to involve all the children present;
• Giant soap bubble show;
• Creative mask workshop, to make and personalize your own Carnival mask.

A village to discover

Casale Marittimo is listed among The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy and is a small pearl just a few kilometers from the sea of the Etruscan Coast. Participating in Carnevale in Piazza is also a great excuse to stroll through the village alleys, climb up to Piazza del Popolo to admire the view over the Pisan hills, and breathe in the genuine atmosphere of a town in the province of Pisa that keeps its Tuscan charm intact. A simple and joyful celebration that puts children and the community at the center.
