Jun 27, 2026ConfirmedSource
Carnevale sull'Acqua di Comacchio is Comacchio's annual water carnival, where decorated allegorical boats parade through the canals of the historic town center. The boats are transformed into allegorical vessels — original works of art — that glide through the waters of the historic center, starting from the monumental Trepponti bridge. The event features music, theater, dance, masked groups, and a pyromusical finale. The festival is described on its official site as 'l'unico carnevale sull'acqua d'Italia' (the only carnival on water in Italy). The 2026 edition marks its 13th year, with both a winter edition (February) and a summer night edition (June 27, 2026).
