Merendando – Bubbles and Fantasy

A festival for children in the village of Montecarlo

Merendando – Bubbles and Fantasy is the event that transforms the historic center of Montecarlo, in the province of Lucca, into a large, child-friendly playground. For an entire afternoon, the streets and squares of the village fill with color, laughter, and free activities, offering families in Tuscany a day of open-air fun within the town's 14th-century walls.

Bubbles, workshops, and plenty of imagination

The heart of the event is the Labollatorio, a space dedicated to soap bubbles where children can be enchanted and become the protagonists of giant soap creations and small, ephemeral magic tricks. Alongside the bubbles, the village hosts numerous free activities designed to entertain children and teenagers: creative workshops, games, and entertainment moments that invite them to be amazed and use their imagination.

An afternoon in the historic center

The event takes place in the picturesque historic center of Montecarlo, one of the most fascinating medieval villages in the Lucca area, still enclosed today by its walls and 14th-century gates. Walking through the alleys of the town during Merendando means combining the pleasure of discovering the village with the joy of play, in an intimate and welcoming setting where families gather in the late afternoon to share a snack and some fun.
