The Bientinese Carnival has been organising five masked parades for 83 years, with new floats inspired by local situations, political satire or the world of children’s imagination. A characteristic feature is the cheerful little train that travels through the town loaded with little passengers. Adults and children organise themed masquerade outings. On the evening of Shrove Tuesday, a prize is awarded to the most original group. This is followed by the Bonfire of the Bientinaccio, a puppet that represents the spirit of Carnival, and finally the fireworks close the whole event.
