In Romagna, the countdown has already begun for the 21st edition of the Notte Rosa.

The dates have been set: from 19 to 21 June 2026, over the summer solstice weekend, Romagna will be lit up in pink for the 21st time. An important milestone for an event that over time has become much more than just a festival: it is the signal that summer has truly begun, the moment when residents and tourists come together, from the north to the south of the Riviera, to celebrate the longest day of the year.

The timing on the solstice is no coincidence and never has been. There is something ancient about this choice — the bonfires, the dancing, the sense of transition and rebirth that has always accompanied 21 June — and the Notte Rosa has managed to transform it into something contemporary, popular and inclusive. A collective ritual that is renewed, year after year, with the same energy as on the very first day.

This continuity is also confirmed by the slogan, which remains unchanged for 2026: HIT’S SUMMER. A deliberate choice, not a repetition. Because behind those two words lie multiple meanings: there is the announcement of summer (It’s Summer), there is music and its hits (Hits Summer), and there is everything that makes a holiday in Romagna unique — the sea, the food, sport, conviviality, the pleasure of being outdoors together with others. A manifesto, not just a slogan.

La Notte Rosa 2026 is once again a widespread event in the truest sense of the word: not a single stage, not a single square, but an entire region transformed into a stage. From the sea to the hills, from the beaches to the historic centres, from the villages to the seafronts, the programme spans the Romagna region from dawn until late into the night. Concerts, shows, fireworks, sunrise yoga sessions, food and wine experiences, activities for families and children: a weekend that doesn’t pick and choose its audience, but welcomes everyone.

The underlying idea is simple yet ambitious: to shape a summer that comes alive with the first light of dawn and doesn’t stop until the small hours, celebrating the longest day of the year with the same intensity from start to finish. An event that is, at the same time, entertainment and identity, a festival and a story of a region.

The 21st edition of Notte Rosa promises to be one of the most spectacular ever. The details of the programme will be revealed in the coming weeks — but the countdown in Romagna has already begun!
