Riviera dei Pini Cabaret

Laughter under the stars in Tagliata di Cervia

Riviera dei Pini Cabaret is the comedy festival that livens up Friday evenings in the summer in Tagliata di Cervia, a seaside resort in the Municipality of Cervia, in the province of Ravenna (Emilia-Romagna). Every week, from early July to late August, the Parco dei Gemelli on Viale dei Gemelli becomes a large open-air theatre featuring cabaret artists, ventriloquists, comedians, and variety performers, many of whom are well-known faces in Italian and Romagna comedy.

The spirit of the festival

Promoted by Proloco Riviera dei Pini, the event is designed for families, residents, and tourists vacationing on the Adriatic coast. The format is simple and proven: arrive at the park, sit outdoors, and enjoy the show in the typical Romagna summer atmosphere, where laughter is often accompanied by a piadina or a plate of local specialties. Admission is free, a detail that has made the festival one of the most popular and well-attended events of the Cervia summer.

The stars

Over the years, the lineup has hosted popular national comedians such as Max Cavallari from Fichi d'India, Beppe Braida, Maria Pia Timo, Gianluca Impastato, as well as numerous artists from the Romagna cabaret scene and variety performers like Samuel the Ventriloquist. The program changes weekly, offering a different face each night.

Cervia and the Riviera dei Pini

The festival is part of the rich summer calendar of the Riviera dei Pini, the stretch of coast between Tagliata and Pinarella di Cervia characterized by historic pine forests close to the sea. Amidst evening markets, food festivals, and shows, Parco dei Gemelli is one of the vibrant hubs of summer entertainment, and the Friday Cabaret is its most anticipated event for those seeking lightness and good humor on vacation.
