Everything is set for another vibrant edition of the Carnevalata of Paceco, a whirlwind of color and energy ready to sweep through the town, which is already on the starting line to welcome thousands of visitors for a few days of fun filled with music and great local food.
Alongside the parades and evening shows, the event keeps its most authentic, community feel: entertainment for children with music, games and inflatables, plus a main square area where tasting stands will showcase typical local products and a small exhibition of local craftsmanship. If you are planning a visit to the area, this can be the perfect chance to combine the festivities with a short break between the sea and historic towns, perhaps ending the day with dinner at the best restaurants in Trapani and choosing a comfortable stay at a B&B in Trapani.
The Carnevalata truly kicks off on Friday, February 13, 2026, with the opening of the stands in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele from early afternoon and the start of family friendly activities, including music and kids’ entertainment. In the evening, the spotlight shifts to a show for adults, with a cabaret night and live music to officially open the weekend celebrations.
On Saturday, February 14, 2026, the town fills up again from the afternoon: at 4:30 pm the parade of allegorical floats starts from the Giovanni XXIII School and heads toward the heart of the event, reaching Piazza Vittorio Emanuele. The night continues with the most dance driven moment of the Carnevalata: from 11:00 pm, music and partying in the square with DJ Agosta.
Carnival Sunday, Sunday, February 15, 2026, is the most anticipated day: once again, floats and masks take to the streets along the traditional route, with the grand finale in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, where the celebrations continue in the evening with DJ Daniele Millocca at the console.
The event wraps up on Monday, February 16, 2026, with a final day designed to close the festival in the best possible way: the dance groups that animated the parades return to the square, and from 9:00 pm the closing show brings everyone together with Quaranta che ballano i 90, ready to get the whole crowd dancing again, by popular demand, to the greatest hits of Italian and international disco.
