2026 Carnival of Piana degli Albanesi
description
From January 16th to February 13th, 2026, the town of Piana degli Albanesi celebrates its distinctive Carnevale, an event that blends public fun with the cultural identity of the Arbëreshë community.
The heart of the celebration lies in the traditional masked dances held in local clubs and circles, where women—strictly masked to maintain anonymity according to ancient custom—invite men to dance. The festival is an explosion of music and hospitality, enriched by community gatherings that bring the town streets to life.
The Carnival of Piana degli Albanesi offers an authentic and unconventional experience, celebrating the vitality of Sicily through a one-of-a-kind collective ritual.
