In 2025, the Emilia Romagna Festival celebrated its 25th anniversary with a special edition from July 3 to September 10, preceded by a preview on June 26. Sixty concerts and over 600 artists in more than 20 locations across the territory, featuring major international names and emerging talents, between Imola, its district, and all of Emilia-Romagna.

The 2025 edition of the Emilia Romagna Festival celebrated the festival's 25th anniversary with a very rich program: 60 concerts and over 600 artists in more than 20 of the most evocative locations in Emilia-Romagna, from July 3 to September 10, with a preview on June 26.

The opening on July 3 at the Ebe Stignani Theater in Imola was entrusted to the world premiere of Oscar winner Rachel Portman, with a new composition commissioned exclusively by the festival. Among the festival's headliners were names like Richard Galliano, Ramin Bahrami, Paolo Fresu, Sergio Cammariere, I Solisti Veneti, and Elio, alongside accordionist Simone Zanchini, who was featured on June 26 in the Cloister of the Bishop's Palace with his "Quasi acustico" concert.
