In February 2026, the village of Apollosa hosted one of the most vibrant and well-attended editions of its traditional popular Carnival, with the main parades taking place on Sunday, February 8th, and Sunday, February 15th.
This year’s celebration turned the streets into a kaleidoscope of creativity, thanks to the dedication of local associations, community groups, families, and especially the village’s youth. For weeks, residents worked together to build spectacular allegorical floats, many inspired by the magical world of Disney. Enchanted castles, iconic characters, and fairytale scenes came to life among music, dancing, confetti, and applause, creating a lively and engaging spectacle for all ages.
The Carnival became a true moment of community unity: children in costume, enthusiastic families, choreographed groups, marching bands, and street performers animated the village with joy and energy. Alongside the parades, visitors could enjoy food stands, gathering spaces, and activities for families, making the event a widespread celebration that blended tradition and modern creativity.
The 2026 edition confirmed the Apollosa Carnival as one of the most anticipated events in the Benevento area—an annual festival where the entire community comes together to create, celebrate, and transform the village into a living story.
