La Notte Rosa in Comacchio

The festival that ignites the Romagna summer

For over twenty years, La Notte Rosa has been the celebrated "New Year's Eve of Summer" on the Emilia-Romagna Riviera: a large-scale, widespread event that transforms the entire coast into a single, festive stage on the weekend closest to the summer solstice. Born in 2006, the event involves the seaside resorts from Comacchio to Cattolica, and among these, the Lidos of the Municipality of Comacchio, in the province of Ferrara, hold a special place with a program full of music, entertainment, and shows open to all.

2026 Edition: "Hit's Summer"

The 2026 edition takes place from Friday, June 19th to Sunday, June 21st with the theme "Hit's Summer", a tribute to the soundtracks and summer hits that have accompanied Italian summers. The heart of the festival in Comacchio is the Lido degli Scacchi, where the major evening concerts are held, while scattered events also animate Lido di Spina, Lido degli Estensi, and the historic lagoon center.

Three days of music and fun

• Friday, June 19th — At Lido degli Scacchi, amidst street food, markets, and DJ sets, Aka 7even and LDA, two of the most beloved names in the new Italian pop scene, take the stage.
• Saturday, June 20th — Grand finale with a concert by Fred De Palma, the voice of summer urban and Latin hits, followed by a fireworks display on the beach.
• Sunday, June 21st — The traditional concert at dawn at Lido di Spina and the scattered events of the Festa della Musica on the summer solstice.

An experience for everyone

La Notte Rosa is a free and family-friendly festival: alongside the major concerts, there are workshops for children, entertainment, markets, and food and wine offerings featuring Comacchio's traditional specialties, from eel from the Valli to Adriatic fish dishes. The atmosphere is typical of the Ferrara Lidos, where the long beach and proximity to the Po Delta Park offer a unique natural setting.

Comacchio and the Po Delta

Nicknamed "Little Venice", Comacchio is one of Emilia-Romagna's gems, with its bridges, canals, and historic center. Its seven Lidos form one of the largest seaside areas in the upper Adriatic: during La Notte Rosa, they become the ideal stage to experience the first great summer festival.
