Edition 2025 — Otranto Carnival

In 2025, the Otranto Carnival once again brought masks and joy to the historic center of the Salento town, with a family-friendly festival organized by the Hydro association. Between entertainment for children and the Shrove Tuesday celebrations, Italy's easternmost village experienced its Carnival days in the spirit of tradition and community.

The 2025 Otranto Carnival renewed the appointment with the most colorful festival of the Salento winter. As per tradition, the historic center of the town in the province of Lecce came alive with masks, games, and moments of sharing, with a program designed particularly for families and children.

Organized by the Hydro association, the event confirmed its nature as a community festival, capable of involving residents and visitors in the alleys of the village, up to the climax of Shrove Tuesday. A town-sized Carnival that enhances the charm of Otranto even outside the summer season, in the heart of Salento and Puglia.
