Maggiolata Lucignanese

The most important festival that takes place in Lucignano is without question the May Festival. It is an annual village festa in the spirit of the best rural Tuscan tradition, a sort of reconfirmation of the ancient celebrations for the new spring and summer seasons after the long winter period, almost a propitiatory rite in the belief of an abundant crop. And today, as in centuries past, the Festival has a very precise interrelationships  in which the dominant role is represented by the celebration of our memories of the past: the  parade is a procession of symbolic allegorical floats adorned with flowers with the participation of musical  and folk groups that come from all over Italy and also from abroad, The procession proceeds around the main ring of the streets of the town and thus announces the beginning of the festa; the town is subdivided into  quarters that cheerfully contend the prize for the realization of the most beautiful float; the presence of so many  flowers, not only on the floats from each of the various quarters, but also along the roads, or on the balconies and in the doorways, in a colourful play  of striking effect.
