An afternoon of masks, dancing, and fun for the little ones in Cupra Marittima
The Children's Carnival is the winter, "family-friendly" version of the Carnival of Cupra Marittima, a lively seaside town in the Province of Ascoli Piceno, in Marche. While the Municipality historically focuses its energies on the highly anticipated Summer Carnival, this winter edition was created with a precise objective: to give children an afternoon of pure joy during the classic Carnival period, when the streets fill with masks and confetti.
The party takes place in Piazza Possenti, one of the main squares in the center of Cupra Marittima, easily accessible and perfect for hosting families and children safely. The event is in the afternoon, starting at 3:30 PM, when the square transforms into a large space for games and fun.
The program is entirely designed for the little ones and for those who want to share the joy of the party with them. The main activities include:
More than just an event, the Children's Carnival of Cupra Marittima is an opportunity for families in the Piceno area to gather and for adults to rediscover, together with their children, the carefree joy of childhood. The initiative is promoted by the Municipal Administration of Cupra Marittima in collaboration with the local Pro Loco, which organizes the local events each year. Children are considered the true soul of this party, and the entire afternoon revolves around them.
Experiencing Carnival in Cupra Marittima means discovering a different side of this town on the Marche coast, far from the summer crowds. A walk through the village, a stop in the central squares, and the contagious joy of children in costume make this day a small gem in the winter calendar of the Piceno region.
The Children's Carnival 2026 brought the colors and joy of a child-friendly Carnival back to Piazza Possenti. The square in the center of Cupra Marittima transformed, from the afternoon, into a large space for games and fun for families in the Piceno area.
