Carnival in Sciacca

The Carnival in Sciacca is one of the best known carnival events in Sicily.
The Carnival begins with the symbolic delivery of the city keys to the king of Carnival Peppe Nappa, a local mask that opens and closes the party.
Parades of allegorical carts take place with Peppe Nappa's float at their head, from which wine and sausages prepared on the grill are distributed for the duration of the carnival. The celebrations end when Peppe Nappa's cart is burned in the square.
