Maggiolata in Lucignano - 2025

Updated: Jan 21

Lucignano is known for their Maggiolata festival, a celebration of spring and tradition typically held the last two weeks of May. People come from all over Italy to see the festival. All the floats in the parade are made out of flowers and there is endless food, music, and ongoing events.


This is a great way to see the town and its traditions as you explore Tuscany in a new way. Every year has a different theme and then each contrada or neighborhood chooses something within that theme. This year's theme is music and each contrada chose a different genre of music. Every float is hand crafted and each individual flower is added to the float. This is months and months of work and an insane amount of volunteer hours. Once Maggiolata kicks off, all the contrada's compete against one another and the floats are revealed to the public in various parades. There is also a panel of judges that review each float based on the grading criteria set for that year and a winner is chosen.


Last year, our contrada (yellow/red) won. Who do you think should win this year?
