Tufano Carnival

The Tufano Carnival, the most joyful festival in Anagni

Every February, the hamlet of Tufano, just outside Anagni, transforms into a riot of color, confetti, and joy for its Carnival, one of the most popular events in the Frosinone province, in the heart of the Ciociaria region. Born from the enthusiasm of the local community, the festival attracts hundreds of visitors from across the territory every year, featuring allegorical floats, masked groups, music, and street performances.

A tradition signed by Tufano Insieme

The Carnival is organized by the Tufano Insieme Association, led by Ennio La Bella, which has spent years managing the construction of the floats and the entire event program with the involvement of local volunteers, families, and young people. The 2026 edition, marking the eleventh year, confirms an event now deeply rooted in Anagni's identity and appreciated throughout the neighboring towns of Ciociaria.

Three days between Tufano and Anagni

The program spans several days and two distinct settings: the playground and streets of Tufano, where the markets and neighborhood parades are concentrated, and the evocative historic center of Anagni, the famous "City of Popes," which hosts the grand finale with the float parade and festivities in Piazza Cavour. There is no shortage of craft and hobby markets, food stalls featuring local flavors, and entertainment for children.

Floats, shows, and entertainment

The heart of the festival lies in the allegorical floats, handcrafted and inspired by themes from pop culture, cinema, and fantasy. Recent editions have featured attractions such as The Greatest Bubble Show, Carnival Disco Music sets, and roaming artists and dance groups accompanying the processions along the streets.

An event for the whole family

The Tufano Carnival is designed primarily for families and children: masks, confetti, workshops, and entertainment make the event a shared celebration, in a genuine and popular atmosphere that is the hallmark of this Lazio event. It is an authentic way to experience Carnival far from the major tourist circuits, among the hills of Ciociaria and the ancient walls of Anagni.
