About Notte + Rosa

Every summer, Porto Sant'Elpidio, on the Fermo coast of the Marche region, turns pink for La Notte + Rosa della Riviera Marchigiana, one of the most anticipated summer festivals on the Adriatic coast. For an entire night, the town centre and seafront come alive with free concerts by major Italian music artists, markets, shows, scenic installations, and themed atmospheres. An event that draws tens of thousands of people and transforms the entire city into a grand open-air stage, filled with fun, live music, and the sea.

A night all in pink on the Fermo Riviera

La Notte + Rosa della Riviera Marchigiana is the flagship summer event of Porto Sant'Elpidio, a seaside town in the Province of Fermo on the Adriatic coast, in the heart of the Marche Riviera. Inspired by the famous Notte Rosa in Romagna, the event dresses the entire town in pink: shop windows, venues, streets, and the long seafront are illuminated in vibrant shades, creating a festive evening that involves residents, tourists, and visitors from all over the Marche region.

Live Music and Big Guests

Music is the heart of Notte + Rosa. Every year, nationally renowned artists perform on the main stage in Piazza Garibaldi, with strictly free concerts. Over the years, the festival has hosted well-known names in Italian pop music, capable of drawing thousands of spectators to the stage. Alongside the main concert, the programme extends throughout the city with DJ sets, bands, entertainment, and itinerant shows that continue until late at night.

Markets, Shows, and Festive Atmosphere

In addition to concerts, Notte + Rosa offers a rich programme spread along the seafront and in the town centre: markets, food stalls, themed installations, shows for families, and entertainment for children. Shops and businesses stay open late and participate in the pink decoration of the city, creating a unique atmosphere that blends evening shopping, gastronomy, and entertainment.

An Event Growing Year by Year

Born just a few years ago, the event has quickly established itself as one of the most popular gatherings of the Marche summer, with editions attracting over a hundred thousand attendees and having a significant impact on local tourism and commerce. Organized by the Municipality of Porto Sant'Elpidio, La Notte + Rosa is now a symbol of summer on the Fermo Riviera and a perfect opportunity to discover one of the most vibrant seaside resorts in the Marche.
