Viareggio Carnevale!
Carnevale! Is like Marti Gras, its basically a big party before the fast. That is, the 40 days and 40 nights when Jesus was walking the the desert with no food or water... So the Catholics give something up for the same 40 days and 40 nights, but before that fast they have a party. Then when its over it is Easter. That is what I understood anyway from how it works, but it is fun for the kids ( and parents) to dress up for Carnevale and celebrate.

Carnevale in the Center
There was no real organized event but many parents dressed their kids on the weekends (only during Carnevale) and walk around the center and mostly near the carosel, since the kids like to go for a ride.
