Acquedolci Carnival
Traditions
The Acquadolcese Carnival, which in 1998 was defined as the third carnival of Sicily, after that of Acireale and Sciacca, today boasts a great tradition in papier-mâché working techniques and attracts thousands of visitors every year.
The official mask of the Acquedolci Carnival is Dorotero, a character with a green tunic, holding a mask and a scepter in his hand, represented by a sugar cane (also depicted in the city coat of arms).
