Carnival of Bientina

02/03/2025 - 04/03/2025 ore: 15:00 - 18:00

centro storico Bientina, Piazza Martiri della Libertà, Bientina


For 83 years, the Bientinese Carnival Association has organised the five masked parades with new allegorical floats inspired by local situations, political satire or the world of children’s imagination. Characteristic is the cheerful little train that, loaded with small passengers, travels through the village.

Adults and children organise themed masked outings. On the evening of Shrove Tuesday, the masquerade under the stars: a prize is awarded to the most original group. This is followed by the Bonfire of the Bientinaccio, a puppet representing the spirit of Carnival, and finally the fireworks close the entire event.

On Sunday 21 January at 3 p.m., the opening parade is preceded by the flag-raising ceremony with national anthem. Admission is free. Other scheduled courses: 28 January, 4 – 11 and 17 February
