The festival Paese de Balocchi (I call it the Pinocchio festival) was a great success. The weather was perfect and people came out in droves to enjoy the entertainment on offer.
The umbrella installation in Via Umberto provided an extra level of colour.
The many stalls offered lots of things to buy.
The old fashioned games kept the children, and parents, busy.
There was a wonderful girl band making their way up and down the street, led by the marvellous Roberto Lucchesi.
A dinosaur, with rider, was a big hit.
Face painting is always popular.
There was a jumping castle, people in costume, balloons and more.
Well done to the organisers. The festival gets better each year.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
It is great to see how much this festival has grown. And the colourful umbrellas look superb!
The umbrellas provided a great backdrop.
Greatto see the festival photos…it was obviously a wonderful success. I agree with Maria that the umbrellas are a very colourful addition to the street.
The festival is a lot of fun. It is great to see so many people out and about.
It looks like a terrific time was had by all. Thanks for sharing.
It was a perfect autumn day…that helps.
How festive! Love those umbrellas….
I really enjoyed this post and especially those upside down umbrellas 😉
Love the festivals and always something uniquely “Italian” to enjoy! Siena also has a girl band with costumes of the same turquoise and black!
I love the festivals in Italy.
