The long embrace of Pink Night prepares to bid farewell to its audience with a grand finale not to be missed. On Sunday 22 June, the pink wave continues to sweep over the Riviera and the hinterland of Romagna with a succession of events that leave their mark, from the first ray of sunshine until late at night. A day dedicated to sharing, art, music and wellness, which will be the springboard to the Italian summer.
In Rimini, there will be dancing to the last breath with the enthralling Liscio Street Parade in Piazzale Kennedy: with performances by dance schools, the Santa Balera Orchestra, Moreno il Biondo, and a grand collective finale on the notes of Romagna Mia, the city celebrates its roots with rhythm and passion. But the party also continues on Monday 23 and Tuesday 24, for those who still feel like dancing.
On the beach in Riccione, poetry takes shape with Kledi interpreting Ravel's Bolero at dawn, followed by the refined voice of Syria in a tribute to singer-songwriter music, between the waves and the first sun. Unforgettable dawns also in Bellaria-Igea Marina, where ancestral sounds welcome the new day, and in the evening energy explodes with the concert of Mirko Casadei and his POPular Folk Orchestra.
The rhythm does not stop in Misano Adriatico, where the Parco del Sole is transformed into an open-air dance floor with A Tutto Ballo, while in Santarcangelo di Romagna the Festa del Grano (Wheat Festival) blends culture, music and rural memory in an evocative journey through history and entertainment. In Verucchio, the day opens with yoga on the Fortress and closes at the Archaeological Museum with fascinating ‘Tales from beyond’. Wellness also in Coriano, with a sunrise walk, sun salutation and a shared breakfast, in a moment of deep connection with nature and oneself.
In San Giovanni in Marignano, the magical Night of the Witches continues, with itinerant performances, lights, markets and an enchanted atmosphere, while in Cesena the square is transformed into a shared stage for the Flash Coro Pink Edition of Rockin'1000, where the public is the protagonist of an overwhelming choral performance. Music and poetry at dawn also in Savignano sul Rubicone, with soundtracks played by the Trio Barrique in the quiet of the countryside, while in Bertinoro the Drinkin' Jazz Festival closes with refined concerts and nature walks in the footsteps of Leonardo.
In the greenery of the Don Guanella Gardens in Gatteo, the Rock in Movie bring cinema masterpieces to life with live music in a multi-sensory show. Cervia offers thrills at dawn with poetic navigation among the salt pans, and pure adrenalin with the Offshore Grand Prix, as well as contemporary art in the Endless Summer exhibition. In Lido Adriano, the night explodes with Roy Paci & Aretuska in the overwhelming LiveLoveDance tour, while Ravenna enchants with ‘L'Argine degli Angeli’, a bike excursion in the Delta Valleys, immersed in nature and evocative silence.
The city of Ferrara blends history, art and entertainment: from the ‘Attack on the Castle’ by costumed archers, to the Dawn Concert in the Certosa, to Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle, the centre comes alive with ‘Bande in Festa’, “Pianoestense” and ‘Un Fiume di Musica’. Argenta lights up with a DJ set by Radio Bruno's Lopez, transforming Piazza Garibaldi into a dancing party amidst pink cocktails and twinkling lights, while Codigoro greets the day with a walk in the Lavandeto di Pomposa Lavender Grove, amidst perfumes, stories and aromatic breakfasts.
The Pink Night 2025 closes with an incredible symphony of emotions: a mosaic of unique events and enchanting places, where each city becomes the protagonist of a collective dream that continues to colour the summer with magic, art and freedom.
