The July 5th will start the 14 editions of the  Pink Night, the New Year’s Eve of Romagna’s Riviera that marks the opening of the seaside season of Emilia-Romagna, together with a condensation of the possibilities that the Riviera offers its guests.

110 km with more than 400 outdoor events with a great lineup formed by free concerts, big names of international music and many parties, until the dawn and throughout the weekend. And then the fireworks, the beautiful villages inland, the live concerts on the beach and hundreds of events including shows, exhibitions, food and wine and much more, with bathing facilities, museums, bars, and restaurants open, entertaining the people from sunset at dawn.

Pink R-Evolution is the theme chosen for this year’s edition, a theme that 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, invites guests of the Riviera to rediscover relationships and rediscover the pleasure of being together, united also in the differences with a full program of events and concerts.
A historical theme that wants to rediscover the human side of one’s life and forget, even if only for one night, all the differences and the temples.
