The Festa del Tulipano (Tulip Festival) will be held in Castiglione del Lago from April 24 to May 2, 2026. For the allegorical floats, the theme chosen for the 56th edition is “Cartoon”: iconic characters such as Tweety and Sylvester, the Minions, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, and Super Mario are reinterpreted in a contemporary key.
Through these figures, universal values are conveyed and updated, including inclusion, respect and balance in relationships—often complex—as well as a sense of community, collaboration and teamwork. There are also references to resilience, the ability to start again and look to the future with momentum, along with daily commitment, dedication and determination.

The highlight of the event will be the parades of the floats, true works of art covered in tulip petals

This edition will also feature:
• The “Tulip Garden”, a botanical display in Piazza Dante Alighieri
• The “Flowers and Passions” market
• The Tulip Tavern, open daily in the olive grove near Palazzo della Corgna, offering local traditional dishes
• A panoramic Ferris wheel overlooking Lake Trasimeno
• The “Blooming Windows, Squares, and Balconies” initiative, where residents and businesses will decorate their spaces with flowers, turning them into open-air works of art.
