The Carnival on the Water of Comacchio is a one-of-a-kind event that transforms the town into an open-air spectacle, where art, imagination and tradition are reflected in the waters of its historic canals.
The undisputed stars of the event are the boats: true artistic creations that come to life on the water, turning into imaginary worlds, visual stories and floating stage sets, crafted with outstanding artisanal skill and creativity.
The gentle flow of the canals becomes the natural stage for a parade unique in Italy, engaging visitors of all ages. Music,live shows,entertainment and performances animate the streets of the historic centre, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere.
Adding an extra touch of magic is Forcolina, the Carnival’s beloved mascot, especially popular with children.
In 2026, the Carnival on the Water celebrates its 13th edition, confirming itself as a major tourist attraction that draws thousands of visitors every year. A successful formula that blends water parades, shows and music with the distinctive identity of Comacchio.
An unmissable opportunity to experience Comacchio in winter, discover its traditions, savour local flavours and be amazed by the city’s most colourful and enchanting event.
