Carnevale Manfredonia 2024

The Carnival of Manfredonia, now in its seventieth anniversary, is preparing to celebrate this important milestone with an edition that could mark a turning point in its history. This event, rooted in the heart of the Sipontini, who boast of having "confetti in their blood", has always been one of the most significant and distinctive manifestations of the city.🎊 🎭

The history and tradition of the Carnival of Manfredonia, an intrinsic element of the city identity, will not be forgotten in this special edition. The event is recognized and appreciated not only locally, but also beyond the city limits, as a crossroads of artistic talents ranging from papier-mâché to original and imaginative costumes, the result of creative minds and fine seamstresses.

🎭The 2024 program presents the right mix of innovation and tradition - for example the return of Shrove Thursday, days when a real "carnival" will be realized in the city - and with the important emphasis that it will be a Carnival open to all and for all.🎭
