Carnevale del Mare in Castiglione della Pescaia
Spring in Tuscany is a time of color, light and festivals. One of the most beautiful spring events in the southern Maremma is the Carnevale del Mare in Castiglione della Pescaia. This maritime carnival festival brings the streets and beaches of this picturesque coastal town to life – with colorful parades, music and good cheer.
A unique carnival by the sea
While many people associate the carnival with Venice or Viareggio, Castiglione della Pescaia offers a special variant: a carnival right by the sea. The celebrations take place over several days in March and include a large masked parade through the streets of the historic center. The participants wear imaginative costumes, often inspired by maritime motifs, while music groups create a lively atmosphere.
Piazza Garibaldi becomes the center of the festivities. There will be live music, DJ sets and even cabaret performances to keep you entertained into the evening. The festival is a special experience for families, as children can take part in special workshops and games.
Culinary delights and Tuscan hospitality
No festival in Tuscany would be complete without good food. During the Carnevale del Mare, numerous stalls tempt visitors with local specialties. Fresh fish, seafood, Tuscan sausages and sweet carnival pastries such as “cenci” and “frittelle” provide culinary highlights. The city’s restaurants offer special menus with traditional dishes during this time – perfect to stop off and enjoy after a day of festivities.
A perfect day trip from Casa Ferruccio
Castiglione della Pescaia is only about 60 minutes away from Casa Ferruccio and is an ideal destination for a spring excursion. The combination of carnival atmosphere, picturesque beaches and culinary delights makes the visit unforgettable. After a day full of adventures, Casa Ferruccio offers the perfect oasis of peace to relax in the evening.
