Pergola Carnival

The Pergola Carnival

The Pergola Carnival is the Carnival event that transforms the historic center of Pergola, an elegant town in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino, in the Marche region, into a large outdoor party space every winter. For an entire afternoon, the streets and squares of the town light up with colors, music, and joy, attracting families, children, and masked groups from Pergola and the nearby towns in the Cesano valley.

Where it takes place

The heart of the event beats among the municipal arcades, Piazza Ginevri, and Corso Matteotti, the main axis of Pergola's historic center. This is where the masks parade, group dances form, and the air fills with confetti and streamers. The bars and shops in the center also participate in the party, offering typical Carnival sweets to those who come in costume.

The program

The afternoon is marked by music, entertainment, and lots of fun for all ages. Among the most anticipated moments is the Carneval Family Show, a show dedicated to families with characters and superheroes much loved by children, accompanied by confetti for everyone and candy tosses for the little ones.

• Parade of groups and masks along Corso Matteotti
• Carneval Family Show with entertainment for children
• Group dances, music, confetti, and streamers
• Award ceremony for the best masks

The awards

Those who wish to participate in the parade can register and compete for awards, divided into several categories: the best group mask, the single mask, and the category dedicated to children. This is a way to celebrate the creativity of those who carefully prepare costumes and disguises, the true soul of the party.

A community celebration

The Pergola Carnival is organized by the municipal administration of Pergola in collaboration with the businesses in the center, with the support of local associations. More than just an event, it is a moment of community that unites the entire town around the Carnival tradition, in a familiar and popular atmosphere typical of the inland towns of the Marche region.
