Catanzaro is preparing for a Carnival full of events and shows, with a programme that will animate the old town and the Lido district from 28 February to 2 March 2025.
It starts on Friday 28 February at Villa Margherita, from 4 p.m., with the first edition of Confetti in the Wind: an experience between art, craft and cosplay, with an escape experience and an art exhibition. The evening will culminate with La coscienza di Zero, a musical tribute to Renato Zero, followed by a DJ set from 11pm.
On Saturday 1 March, Carnival moves to Lido, with a morning dedicated to folklore: at 10.30 am the parade with the suggestive Giants of Varapodio will start, crossing the seafront from Area Teti to Gaslini Park, accompanied by music, entertainment and shows for children. The afternoon will be entirely dedicated to fun in Gaslini Park, with games and entertainment from 4 to 8 pm.
Sunday 2 March will be the most eagerly awaited day. At Villa Margherita, from 9 a.m., Carnival will come back to life with the traditional Harlequin dressing-up, the mini-cart competition, and the piñata hunt, while the food bank initiative will continue. At the same time, at the Gaslini Park in Lido, from 10 a.m., there will be travelling animations, theatrical sketches, street artists, puppet shows, mimes, music, and juggling for a Carnival that will combine tradition and entertainment, offering three days of festivities for adults and children alike.
