Color Corriamo

A festival of color in the heart of Porcari

Color Corriamo is one of the most beloved and vibrant summer events in Porcari, a small town in the Lucca Plain, Tuscany. This is not a competitive race, but a festive, non-competitive walk open to all ages and fitness levels: the goal is not the clock, but a smile. Participants start dressed in white and, as they traverse the town streets, are progressively covered in non-toxic colored powders, eventually turning into a cheerful, rainbow-colored crowd.

The route and the four color stations

The route, approximately four kilometers long, winds through the town center and features four color stations—yellow, green, light blue, and fuchsia—placed along the way. At each station, participants are showered with a different cloud of color, in a chromatic crescendo that culminates at the Torretta, the iconic landmark of Porcari. The participation kit includes a white t-shirt and the colors that will bring the festival to life.

A community event

The event is organized by the Porcari Attiva local business association, in collaboration with the Municipality of Porcari, and represents one of the highlights of the weekend festivities that animate Piazza Felice Orsi. The initiative involves families, young people, and local associations, confirming itself as a social gathering that combines light exercise, music, and local spirit.

Porcari and the Province of Lucca

Located just a few kilometers from Lucca and Altopascio, Porcari is a town in the Lucchesia area known for its lively community life and its summer calendar, the Estate Porcarese, which offers concerts, shows, and initiatives for the entire community. Color Corriamo fits into this context as the most spectacular and popular event, capable of attracting hundreds of residents and visitors from neighboring towns every year.
