Pink Night in Forlì

The Pink Night, the Romagna Summer New Year's Eve

The Pink Night is the festival that for over twenty years has officially inaugurated summer along the Emilia-Romagna Riviera: a large, widespread event, coordinated by Visit Romagna, which for an entire weekend in June lights up cities and coastal towns with concerts, shows, entertainment, and fireworks, all strictly in pink. Forlì, the capital of its Province (Forlì-Cesena) in Emilia-Romagna, participates in the festival as the inaugural stop of the event, bringing the magic of the Pink Night to the heart of the hinterland.

Piazza Saffi becomes a large open-air stage

The heart of Forlì's Pink Night beats in Piazza Aurelio Saffi, the large monumental square in the historic center, which for the occasion transforms into an open-air stage capable of hosting thousands of people. As explained by the Councilor for Major Events Andrea Cintorino, the square becomes "a large open-air stage, where the watchwords will be fun and live music to the notes of the greatest hits of the moment". Entry to the concert is free until capacity is reached.

An established event

The 2026 edition is the third consecutive edition that sees Forlì as the protagonist of the Pink Night, confirming a solid bond between the city and the great regional summer festival. In previous years, the Piazza Saffi stage hosted Boomdabash and Mirko Casadei (2024) and Eiffel 65 (2025), shows that attracted a huge audience. The claim for the edition is "Hit's Summer", emphasizing the pop music and great hits that accompany the entire summer season.

Rocco Hunt, the 2026 headliner

For the 2026 edition, Rocco Hunt, a rapper and singer-songwriter from Salerno, one of the most famous names in the Italian pop-rap scene, author of songs that have become summer hits, takes the stage in Piazza Saffi. The concert is promoted by the Municipality of Forlì with the support of Visit Romagna and the Emilia-Romagna Region, and is part of a broader program of initiatives that animate the historic center during the Pink Night weekend.

Why it's worth being there

More than just a concert, the Pink Night in Forlì is an evening of collective celebration marking the start of summer: quality free music, one of Romagna's most beautiful squares packed with people, open venues, and a light and festive atmosphere. An ideal event for those who want to experience the authentic spirit of the Romagna summer away from the coast, in the historic center of a city of art.
