Feast of San Genesio, the kids’ feast | Casciana Terme

For 67 years now, Casciana Terme has celebrated the feast day of San Genesio, protector of children, on 25 August.

From Thursday, August 24th to Sunday, August 27th, Casciana Terme is transformed into the city of children, where every corner of the spa town is intended for child-friendly activities.

This is a reversal of daily life. The evening before, the children symbolically take possession of the town by handing over the keys of the mayor to the Grand Chamberlain of the Kingdom of Children, represented by a local boy or girl. A chamberlain like the typical cake that is still made on that occasion: round with a hole in the middle and filled with candied fruit and sultanas.
