Christmas 2025 and New Year's Eve 2026 - Concerts, Shows, and Special Moments for New Year's Eve
Celebration, music, entertainment: here's an in-depth look at how December 31, 2025, and New Year's Eve 2026 in Rimini will become a unique event.
The “Festa Grande” program and the long marathon of events
The world's longest annual New Year's Eve celebration in Rimini is revamped with the title "Festa grande": from November 22nd to Epiphany, there will be around 150 events, including concerts, DJ sets, dances, open museums, nativity scenes, and markets.
In particular:
December 31: “Rimini Dance Floor” – 10 parties in 10 spaces
New Year's Eve features a varied format: ten venues in the historic center and marina become one large dance floor. There are dance zones, Latin American zones, and swing/Romagna tradition zones with the "Liscio Street Parade."
The central location remains Piazza Cavour, transformed into an open-air theater with concerts, big screens, and shows until the early hours of the morning.
The toast on the sea and the fireworks
At midnight, the Rimini sky becomes a spectacle of light and reflections on the Adriatic: the tradition of fireworks over the sea is confirmed and made even more exciting by the widespread celebrations.
What is the perfect target?

What is the perfect target?
- Young people and groups of friends who want to party until dawn.
- Couples looking for a special evening, perhaps combining a hotel dinner with a short outing in the main square.
- Families: thanks to the variety of locations, it is possible to choose a quieter area and return to the facility comfortably.
- Book early: concerts and the best spots sell out quickly.
- Choose whether you want to stay downtown or near the sea: both areas offer spectacular views, but Hotel Bamby offers both options with ease.
- Consider the evening of the 31st as the highlight, but also experience December 29th-30th as a “warm up” to the party.
