Events and exibitions Riccione

The riviera will be turning pink again this year! This particular event has already become an unmissable appointment for its participants. It offers a host of shows, music, concerts, parties, and above all lots and lots of entertainment for both young and old! The “Notte Rosa” (Pink Night) is such an eagerly anticipated and busy event that it would not fit into just a single evening, and so for the last few years it has been extended over an entire weekend. The 2011 edition gets underway on Friday July 1st, with a full programme of events and shows dedicated to the theme of the dream, and this motif will be the inspiration for the whole weekend. There will be plenty of interesting things to visit in Riccione, such as the exhibitions: Paper dreams: Paintings, drawings, prints and photos from the C20 at Villa Franceschi, and a display of work by Davide Eron Salvadei at Villa Mussolini, under the title Inside your mind.

Festivities will begin on Friday 1st, with aperitifs and live music at the Perle d’acqua park, while from 9:30 pm onwards, the Piazzetta San Martino and the whole length of Viale Gramsci and Viale San Martino will come to life with happenings such as The Dream is Riccione Abyssinia and the lady... is here, presented by Sasà Spasiano. Here, at midnight, there will be the first taste of the celebratory food, with some pink pasta! Meanwhile, at the Montanari Gardens from 8 pm onwards, you will be able to admire the artistic skating competitions for the International Skate Team Trophy. Viale Tasso will be partying with pink desserts and live music, close to the station of Radio Deejay in Piazzetta del Faro. And Radio Deejay itself will be one of the main participants in Riccione’s Notte Rosa, presenting AMICI, il sogno diventa realtà (Friends, your dream comes true). This involves the casting selection for “Amici 2012”, with aspirant participants attempting to realize their dream of taking part in the TV programme. On Saturday 2nd, the guest of honour, Alessandra Amoroso, will be presenting the finalists. However, the most magical night of all is that between Friday and Saturday, thanks to an incredible firework display, which will send showers of sparks over the sea, involving everyone in an atmosphere of pure magic. After the fireworks, the entertainment will continue, with a performance of “Tempest – Acrobatics and visions of the work of William Shakespeare” at half past midnight at the Tent Theatre in Via Torino (free entry until all seats are taken).  Meanwhile, the area around Marano Doc will be buzzing till dawn with a whole host of exciting events. Every nightspot will have its own pink decorations, even extending to the food and snacks, and plenty of themed parties will be put on for the occasion. The celebrations will continue on Saturday 2nd, when the spotlight will be on San Lorenzo... in pink, with a tribute to Vasco Rossi. To round up the festivities in fine style, from 8pm to midnight on Sunday 3rd, in Piazza Giardini Alba, a touch of vanity will be introduced with Pink make-up and wigs, a good opportunity also to make a donation to the A.I.L. research association, and to make a very important dream come true!
