Saluti da Gabicce - The Golden Hour

Sunset is heard in Gabicce Mare

Saluti da Gabicce - The Golden Hour is the sunset DJ set series that enlivens Gabicce Mare every Sunday in spring. It's a gem of the Adriatic Riviera in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino, in the Marche region. The idea is simple and evocative: as the sun begins to set over the Adriatic, music takes centre stage, accompanying the golden hour, the "golden hour" that gives the event its name. There's no fixed stage or big-name lineup; the charm lies in the relaxed atmosphere, the scenery, and the soundtrack provided by local DJs.

A travelling series between squares and the beach

The format is that of a widespread and free event: every Sunday the DJ booth changes location, moving between the most beautiful spots in the municipality. Among the locations hosting the DJ sets are Piazza Matteotti, Piazza Valbruna, the bay of Vallugola, Sottomonte Beach, and the Gardens of Piazza Unità d'Italia. This travelling nature invites residents and tourists to rediscover a different corner of the town each week, from the seafront to the central squares and the most picturesque coves.

Who organises it and what music you can hear

The initiative is promoted by the Tourism Department of the Municipality of Gabicce Mare together with the Orbita association, with artistic direction by DJ Giorgia Annibalini. Local DJs take turns playing different genres, catering to every musical taste: an event designed to showcase young local talent and to offer passers-by a moment of music and conviviality during the most scenic time of day.

An event for the tourist season

Launched in 2025, the series has quickly become one of the events that kick off the summer season in Gabicce Mare, accompanying weekends from spring until the summer solstice. Admission is free and the atmosphere is informal: just show up at one of the involved squares, order an aperitif, and let yourself be carried away by the rhythm as the sky turns the colours of the sunset over the sea.
