Marina Dance Parade

The wildest night of the summer on the Pisan coast

The Marina Dance Parade has become a staple of the summer in Marina di Pisa, the seaside district of the Municipality of Pisa located at the mouth of the Arno River, in the heart of the Tuscan coast. For one evening, usually in July, the town's seafront and squares turn into a massive, free, open-air dance floor, attracting thousands of visitors from across the province and beyond.

Three stages, diverse genres

The format that has made the event so successful features three themed stages spread along the seafront, each with its own musical identity:

• Piazza Baleari hosts the main stage, dedicated to electronic and techno music, historically managed by the Metempsicosi collective;
• Piazza Viviani becomes the revival stage, featuring the Rememories 90s format and the dance hits that defined a generation;
• a third stage offers a 360-degree musical journey with the Timeless format, featuring eclectic selections across various genres.

In total, over twenty national and international DJs perform, making the Marina Dance Parade one of the most popular dance music events on the Tuscan coast.

More than just music

Around the stages, the seafront comes alive with a vibrant Food Truck Village, aperitifs, and street food, turning the evening into a widespread party throughout the town's streets. The event is part of the Marenia – Not Just Sea summer program, which brings life to Marina di Pisa, Tirrenia, and Calambrone throughout the summer season.

A celebration for the local area

Created to promote the coastline and local businesses, the Marina Dance Parade is organized by Confcommercio Province of Pisa, with the support of the Chamber of Commerce of Northwest Tuscany and the patronage of the Municipality of Pisa. Over the years, it has become a showcase for Marina di Pisa and a symbol of summer on the Pisan coast, blending sea, music, and fun.
