Pumpkin Carnival

The 2025 edition confirmed the tradition of Moneglia's Pumpkin Carnival, recognized as an Authentic Ligurian Event. The festival combined, as per tradition, the maritime aspect of the winter plunge on the central beach with the more typical carnival dimension of the parade.

After the plunge and the fun Pumpkin Challenge, the festivities continued in the square with the distribution of polenta and wine, culminating in the afternoon with the parade of floats and masks along the historic center, awards, and the breaking of the piñata in Piazza Tarchioni. A day of celebration that involved all ages, animating the eastern Ligurian Riviera village in the heart of winter.

Program in line with tradition: winter plunge and Pumpkin Challenge on the beach in the late morning, polenta and wine in the square at noon, parade of floats and masks in the afternoon with awards and final piñata breaking in Piazza Tarchioni.
