The Carnival of Roseto degli Abruzzi in Piazza della Repubblica
Carnevale in Piazza is the signature carnival celebration of the Municipality of Roseto degli Abruzzi, located on the Teramo coast in Abruzzo. Every year during the carnival season, Piazza della Repubblicaโthe town's main square facing the Town Hallโfills with costumes, confetti, and cheer, becoming a gathering point for adults and children alike to enjoy a day of shared celebration.
The event is specifically tailored for children and families. The traditional program features children's entertainment, a costume parade, face painting stations, games, music, and dancing. Mascots and beloved children's characters are always present, accompanying the public throughout the afternoon in a joyful and engaging atmosphere.
The event is promoted by the Municipality of Roseto degli Abruzzi through the Department of Tourism, as part of the initiatives dedicated to children and families hosted by the town throughout the year. As noted by Tourism Councilor Annalisa D'Elpidio, Carnevale in Piazza is not just an event for the youth, but an opportunity for the entire Roseto community to come together and experience the spirit of the festival.
