LA NOTTE ROSA
Description
In Romagna, the countdown has already begun for the 21st edition of Notte Rosa.
The dates are set: from June 19 to 21, 2026, during 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 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 June 21—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 vacation in Romagna unique—the sea, the food, sports, conviviality, and 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 centers, from the villages to the boardwalks, the program 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 embraces everyone.
The underlying idea is simple yet ambitious: to shape a summer that comes alive with the first light of morning and doesn’t stop until the wee hours, celebrating the longest day of the year with the same intensity from start to finish. An event that is, at once, entertainment and identity, a celebration and a story of a region.
The 21st edition of Notte Rosa promises to be one of the richest ever. The program details will be revealed in the coming weeks—but the countdown in Romagna has already begun!
