Carnival of Corfu
From 2/15/2026 - 3/2/2026
Corfu Carnival is a vibrant celebration rooted in medieval traditions and heavily influenced by Venetian rule, known for its elaborate costumes, colorful masks, and festive atmosphere. Taking place in mid-February to early March, the island comes alive with parades, music, and dancing, attracting visitors from around the world. The highlight is the Great Parade through Liston and Spianada Square, where costumed groups fill the streets with energy and joy. Traditions like the mock wedding and the burning of King Carnival, symbolizing the purging of sins and marked by humorous satire, add a uniquely Corfiot flair to this exuberant event.
