Every spring, Casola Valsenio hosts the Spring Festival and Carri di Pensiero, an event that combines art, tradition, and popular folklore.
In the historic center, impressive gypsum allegorical floats parade through the streets, accompanied by motionless figures representing current events and historical themes. Craft markets, local food stalls, music, and street performances animate the village, offering an immersive experience for visitors of all ages.
The highlight of the festival is the Segavecchia bonfire, a large symbolic fire lit to mark the arrival of the new season, accompanied by rituals, dances, and songs. The Spring Night completes the atmosphere with the nighttime float parade, evocative lighting, artistic installations, and performances that make the spectacle even more enchanting.
This event is one of the most beloved in the Romagna Apennines, ideal for those seeking events with strong local identity, collective creativity, and a fusion of nature and culture. Attending means celebrating the awakening of the territory through art, decoration, ancient symbols, and local flavors.
