On Saturday, August 8, 2026<\/strong>, the historic center of Rio nell’Elba will host the spectacular Gara dei Barroccini (Traditional Push-Cart Race), one of the most beloved events in the Rio tradition, organized by the Pro Loco of Rio.<\/p>\n

For one evening, the village’s steep downhill slopes and sharp turns will transform into a unique race track. The stars of the event will be the traditional barroccini: handcrafted, engine-less carts built by hand with wooden or metal frames, rope steering, and ball-bearing wheels.<\/p>\n

Starting at 9:00 PM, drivers will compete in exciting timed descents through the streets of the village, combining speed, skill, and plenty of lighthearted fun. Spectators can follow the various heats and discover the fastest competitors and the most original barroccini of the evening.<\/p>\n

The event will be preceded by the opening of the Pro Loco food stand: starting at 8:00 PM, visitors can enjoy grilled sausage sandwiches and cold drinks.<\/p>\n

An opportunity to experience a festive evening and rediscover a tradition that engages residents and visitors of all ages.<\/p>\n
