Now in its 13th year, this unique event transforms the canals of the historic centre into a vast floating stage, where imagination, music and tradition come together in a magical atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>What makes the Comacchio Carnival so special is precisely its water-based spirit: traditional boats are transformed into spectacular, decorated and illuminated allegorical vessels, true masterpieces created by the skill of local craftsmen. Each boat tells a different story, filling the canals with fantastical characters, colourful scenery and captivating choreography.<\/p>\n<p>Gliding slowly past the bridges, narrow streets and squares of the lagoon town, the boats offer a fascinating spectacle that draws residents and visitors alike into a huge communal celebration. Accompanying the parade will be music, shows, entertainment and activities designed for all ages.<\/p>\n<p>Making the event even more iconic will be the return of the charming mascot Forcolina, symbol of the Carnival on the Water and loved by adults and children alike.<\/p>\n<p>The summer edition of the Carnival also offers the perfect opportunity to experience the historic centre of Comacchio in a completely different light, amidst reflections on the water, ancient architecture and the timeless atmosphere of the \u2018little Venice\u2019 of the Po Delta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the 2026 Carnival on the Water in Comacchio: themed boats, shows, music and magic amongst the canals of the historic lagoon town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":371189,"template":"","territorio":[],"village-conntection":[50618],"event_category":[165163],"class_list":["post-383907","eb_event","type-eb_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","village-conntection-comacchio-it","event_category-festival-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eb_event\/383907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/eb_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/eb_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"territorio","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/territorio?post=383907"},{"taxonomy":"village-conntection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village-conntection?post=383907"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=383907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
