The Carnival of Cecina is an event that is repeated with joy every year, involving the inhabitants and traders of the city center. Throughout the carnival period, on the weekends of February, the city hosts parades of floats, bands and dance groups.
The main squares and streets of Cecina come alive with masked children, families, papier-mâché masks, musicians and more. Even the shops and shops of the center participate in the party, offering the opportunity to participate in draws for discount coupons spendable in the stores themselves with each purchase.
The event is also highly anticipated in the surrounding municipalities such as Guardistallo, Montescudaio and Bibbona.
Moving along the coast to the south, a few kilometers away, is the famous Carnival of Follonica. This celebration has roots that date back to 1910, when the first carnival in the city was organized. Today, the event is presented as a parade of floats made by the city districts, competing for the title of best float of the year. Papier-mâché floats, masks and musical bands also whisk along the promenade. The Carnival of Follonica represents the maximum of fun for children and families.
