The Acireale Carnival is a story that evolves over time, a celebration of art, satire, and creativity that transforms the baroque city nestled between Mount Etna and the sea into an open-air stage.
The Allegorical-Grotesque Floats, true works of art in papier-mâché, ironically narrate modern society thanks to the mastery of the Acireale float designers.
Along with them, the Isolated Masks, the Miniature Floats, and the Flower-Decked Floats enrich the Carnival with poetry, talent, and beauty.
But in Acireale, Carnival is more than just an event: it's a story that lasts all year round, punctuated by three distinct moments, each with its own soul and protagonist.
In winter, Lavica, the main mascot, embodies the power of the volcano and the passion that ignites the celebration with satire, music, and lights.
In spring, Zagara abounds with Mediterranean flowers and scents, accompanying the Flower Festival, where flower-filled floats transform the city into a moving garden.
In summer, Ionica is enveloped by the sun and sea during the Summer Carnival, a lighter and livelier version of the festival, where flavor, entertainment, and joy meet.
Three faces, three seasons, one story: that of a city that lives and breathes Carnival every day of the year. An invitation to be transported by the art, smiles, and magic of Acireale.
