About Montecastrilli Carnival

The Carnival of Montecastrilli, in the province of Terni, is a festival that involves the entire community of the town and its hamlets. Allegorical floats and masked groups parade along Via Giuseppe Verdi in a riot of colors, music, and joy, involving Casteltodino, Castel dell'Aquila, Quadrelli, Farnetta, and Collesecco. A popular tradition that, between parades, lunches at the Serafini Fairgrounds, and lottery draws, keeps the territory's identity alive on the Sundays of February.

The Carnival that Unites the Hamlets

The Montecastrilli Carnival is one of the most cherished festivals in this municipality in the province of Terni. The event has a special characteristic: it involves not only the main town but all its hamlets โ€” Casteltodino, Castel dell'Aquila, Quadrelli, Farnetta, and Collesecco โ€” creating a choral event deeply rooted in the local community.

Allegorical Floats and Masked Groups

The heart of the festival is the parade of allegorical floats and masked groups along Via Giuseppe Verdi. Handmade masks, colorful costumes, and music transform the town's streets into an open-air stage, with great participation from adults and children. It is a tradition that renews the creativity and pride of the inhabitants of the various hamlets each year.

Feast, Lunch, and Lottery

After the parades, the celebration continues with lunch at the Serafini Fairgrounds and the lottery draw, moments of conviviality that seal the Carnival day. Organized by the Carnival Committee in synergy with the Pro Loco, the event is an unmissable appointment on the Sundays of February in Montecastrilli.
