Cortina d'Ampezzo is preparing to experience the magic of Carnival 2026!
Forget the usual Carnival. This is Cortina d'Ampezzo, where even the masks have style and soap bubbles sparkle like diamonds against the Dolomites.
15 February 2026 – from 5:00 pm, Corso Italia
The festivities begin! The town centre transforms into an open-air stage, and the only rule is to allow yourself to be amazed. Le Smeraldone arrive: towering, elegant and exuberant! Performing on stilts, they weave through the crowd with games, laughter and a shower of soap bubbles that will make even the most serious adult feel like a child again.
And just when you think you've seen it all… here comes Josè Clown! Pure street theatre: sharp wit, dazzling improvisation and that rare talent that makes you laugh without knowing why. Spoiler: you'll be included in the show, too.
17 February 2026 – 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m., Corso Italia
The atmosphere changes, but the enchantment remains. Silence Teatro presents "Come Angeli del Cielo" ("Like Angels of Heaven"), a touring show organised by Cortina For Us. Suspended figures, poetic movements, breathtaking images. An hour in which Corso Italia is no longer a street, but a daydream.
Two dates, one risk: not wanting to leave.
Mask ready? Smile on?
The Carnival of Cortina awaits you. And this year, magic walks the streets.
32043 Cortina d'Ampezzo BL, Italia
