Carnivale In Cinisi: Cinisi is famous, among other things, for the Carnival e parade with many papier-mâché. floats.[citation needed] These floats for Carnivale are created every year by a group of young residents who come together and brainstorm their ideas. Carnivale in Cinisi every year has a different theme and the community is to go along with it. Teenagers creating the float are provided with money by the community and come together to develop ideas on what they can create to make their festival an enjoyable and attractive one for the community. Though, multiple floats are created and requires multiple groups with different creative skills in order to compete. Therefore, the town allows students to create their floats and on the day of Carnivale the floats are put in a contest as to which one was created "the best". The group who creates the most appealing float is then rewarded with cash money and split between the volunteers. Other than the floats, carnivale in Cinisi like any other Carnivale festival comparing to Halloween celebrations in the United States. Although, in Cinisi Carnivale is held on "Corso Umberto I". The street is filled with everyone all over town and even families from neighboring towns. The streets are filled with entertainment from moving Dj floats to dancing performances. The three day Carnivale is prepared for throughout the year where participants come together and practice performances for the upcoming festival.
