Great Together Carnival

The Carnival of the Malatesta Village

The Gran Carnevale Insieme is the Carnival celebration of San Giovanni in Marignano, a charming village in the Valconca known as the "granary of the Malatesta," in the province of Rimini, in Emilia-Romagna. Every year, during Carnival, the central Piazza Giuliantonio Silvagni transforms into a large festive space dedicated mainly to children and families.

A Tradition Organized by the Pro Loco

The event is organized by the Pro Loco San Giovanni in Marignano with the patronage of the Municipality and is part of the rich calendar of initiatives that liven up the town throughout the year, alongside famous events like "La Notte delle Streghe" (The Night of the Witches). The event has reached its thirtieth edition, a sign of a deep connection with the local community.

Masks, Music, and Entertainment

The afternoon begins with the parade of masks, where adults and children can show off their most beautiful and original costumes. The program includes many activities designed for the younger audience:

• Music and baby dance to get the whole square dancing
• An area dedicated to children with games, entertainment, and inflatables
• Electric mini-cars for the little ones
• Entertainment by the Pro Loco clowns with sketches, magic tricks, and lots of fun

Flavors and Grand Finale

Typical Carnival flavors are not missing, with fritters, chiacchiere (a type of fried pastry), and other seasonal sweets. The most anticipated moment is the grand finale with the candy and confetti toss, which closes the festival in an explosion of colors and joy. Admission is free, and the atmosphere is simple and family-friendly, perfect for experiencing Carnival together.

An Event for the Entire Valconca

Thanks to San Giovanni in Marignano's location, just a few kilometers from Cattolica and the Romagna Riviera, the Gran Carnevale Insieme attracts families from all over the Rimini hinterland. It is the ideal opportunity to discover a village rich in medieval history and to share a day of popular celebration in the heart of the Province of Rimini.
