About DiscoBorgo

DiscoBorgo is the event that for one evening lights up the historic center of Santarcangelo di Romagna, in the province of Rimini, transforming it into a large open-air disco. Amidst background music, DJ sets, aperitifs, and markets, the streets and squares of the medieval village fill with thousands of people. In the 2026 edition, the format becomes "Night Market & Vibes": a free exploration of crafts, shopping, gastronomic offerings, and musical atmospheres curated by local venues.

An open-air disco in the heart of Santarcangelo

DiscoBorgo is now one of the most anticipated events in the calendar of Santarcangelo di Romagna, in the Province of Rimini, in Emilia-Romagna. For one evening, the charming historic center of the medieval village transforms into a true open-air disco: streets, squares, and alleys come alive with background music, DJ sets, aperitifs, and stalls, attracting thousands of people including young people, families, and curious visitors.

The "Night Market & Vibes" format

With the 2026 edition, the path started the previous year continues, leading DiscoBorgo to become a "Night Market & Vibes". The format focuses on the experience of the village and its commercial fabric: a dynamic itinerary of crafts, creativity, shopping, and gastronomic offerings to be experienced freely and personally. For one evening, the historic center becomes a widespread night market, where stalls, original items, and artisanal products intertwine with the hospitality of local businesses.

Background Music and Atmospheres

The soundtrack for the evening is provided directly by the local venues in the center, which for the occasion enhance their offerings, contributing to a lively atmosphere along all the streets. Over the years, the musical programming has expanded, ranging from electronic to jazz, to world music, with DJ sets that keep the squares dancing until late at night. The shops in the center remain open, accompanying evening shopping with music and aperitifs.

An event that grows the village

DiscoBorgo is organized by the Associazione Commercianti Cittร  Viva Santarcangelo (Santarcangelo Live City Merchants Association), which has made the event a fixture capable of enhancing the commercial fabric and identity of the town. The initiative, born to liven up the historic center, has grown to attract thousands of visitors at each edition, becoming a symbol of Santarcangelo's vitality and an opportunity to discover its alleys, shops, and its renowned Romagnola hospitality.

Santarcangelo di Romagna, a village to discover

The Municipality of Santarcangelo di Romagna is one of the most beautiful villages in the Rimini hinterland: perched on Giove hill, it preserves a medieval historic center made up of cobbled streets, squares, and tuff grottoes. DiscoBorgo is the perfect opportunity to experience it in a new, festive, and nocturnal guise, while discovering the beauties and flavors of Romagnola tradition.
