Carnival in Bagnara di Romagna

The Carnival for Kids of Bagnara

Among the most characteristic villages in the province of Ravenna, Bagnara di Romagna celebrates Carnival with a formula entirely dedicated to children. Its Carnival for Kids, which in 2026 will reach its forty-first edition, is now a classic of the Bagnara winter: for an afternoon, the historic center streets transform into a large open-air play area, enlivened by masks, music, and activities designed for families.

A celebration revolving around the Fortress

The heart of the event is the historic center around the charming Sforza Fortress, one of the few perfectly preserved square-plan castles in Emilia-Romagna. It is in this setting that children and youngsters parade in costume, amidst inflatables, cotton candy distribution, and clouds of confetti. The atmosphere is typical of Romagna village festivals: simple, welcoming, and child-friendly.
