Barbarasco: Church, Green Space and Festive Traditions

Barbarasco offers two distinct starting points for planning your trip: the Church of Saints Quiricus and Giulitta, and Parco Fiera. There is also a religious procession, Carnevale and specific event dates from different years. This means you can begin planning around the town’s distinctive features and the pace of stay you want.

Church and Parco Fiera

The Church of Saints Quiricus and Giulitta is located in Barbarasco, in Località la Fiera. Its name highlights the religious connection and offers a cultural point of reference for your stay. Parco Fiera di Barbarasco offers a different focus: this 11,313 m² green space has chestnut trees and playground equipment. For families, this is useful information for planning the day. The park combines green space and playground equipment; the church is associated with Quiricus and Giulitta. These offer different local interests to choose from, which you can weigh differently when planning your days.

Religious Tradition and Carnevale

Barbarasco’s religious customs include a procession: every four years, the urn containing the body of Saint Quiricus is carried in a solemn procession. The four-year cycle is important for travel planning if you want to experience this particular event; plan your stay around the relevant date. The Carnevale di Barbarasco offers a different cultural focus. It includes a parade with floats prepared by the various hamlets. Colours and masks shape the carnival atmosphere. The procession is a religious tradition, while Carnevale revolves around the parade, floats and masks. If you choose Barbarasco for its culture, you can include these different occasions in your travel plans according to your personal interests. If a parade is the reason for your visit, check the date in advance.

Events with Specific Dates

The dated celebrations also differ in their purpose and character. The 2024 Fiera di San Quirico programme included a fair at Parco Fiera in Barbarasco. The Fiera d'autunno e della castagna was scheduled for 5 October 2025 at Parco Fiera, with chestnut products due to be offered. The Sagra Polenta e Capra was planned for 27 June 2026 at Parco Fiera di Barbarasco. “Locura” was also scheduled for 11 and 12 July 2026 at Parco Fiera di Barbarasco. The summer event was intended to give young people from Lunigiana a chance to get together locally and spend their free time. These examples range from a fair and chestnut products to a summer event specifically aimed at young people. If you are planning a future visit for a festival, check the date of the event you want to attend before booking.

Plan Your Stay Around Your Interests

If you are travelling with people from several age groups, you can discuss in advance whether religious traditions, playground equipment in the park or the festivities should take priority. This lets you choose your focus deliberately before looking for accommodation for your trip to Tuscany.
