The Este Carnival

Carnival in the Ferrara of the Renaissence




Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 february 2026
Historical re-enactment of the Este Renaissance Carnival

The Carnevale degli Este celebrates the city’s historical heritage and shares it with the public through a rich program of historical parades, performances, conferences, and entertainment. An immersive journey that brings the Renaissance atmosphere back to life, thanks to reenactments, displays, and theatrical performances offering an authentic glimpse into court life and creating a truly unique spectacle.

On Saturday, January 10, 2026, the first event of the 2026 edition took place with the traditional placement of the Carnival mask, Begosso, on the Clock Tower, home of the Fondazione Palio Città di Ferrara, followed by the reading of the Duke’s edict. This symbolic act grants the people permission to wear masks, inaugurating a period of joy and celebration during which the use of masks—otherwise forbidden throughout the year—is allowed as an expression of festivity and freedom.

The 2026 edition of the Carnevale degli Este is dedicated to Beatrice d’Este, Lady of Milan.
