The great festival of the Spas of Emilia-Romagna in Castrocaro Terme and Terra del Sole
The Celestial Night is the event that annually tints the spa towns of Emilia-Romagna with celestial blue, transforming the spas into places of widespread celebration. Promoted by APT Servizi Emilia-Romagna, the initiative involves over twenty spa centers in various locations across the region, with dozens of events designed to celebrate well-being and togetherness. Among the most scenic participants in this network is the Municipality of Castrocaro Terme e Terra del Sole, in the province of Forlì-Cesena, where the 14th edition takes place from June 26 to 28, 2026 with the theme 'It's a Celebration in the Land of Well-being'.
The Castrocaro program blends health, landscape, and tradition. The festival opens on Friday with the Open Day of inhalation treatments at the Spas, a free opportunity to discover the benefits of thermal waters, and continues in the evening with the Celestial Dinner on Viale Marconi: a grand open-air dinner with a white and celestial blue dress code and music, transforming the street into a widespread restaurant under the stars.
Saturday is dedicated to the body and nature: meditation and yoga sessions in the evocative Festival Pavilion, the afternoon Slow Walk to discover Sasso Spungone and the Bolga lakes, and the Magic Night with a DJ set, welcome drink, and access to the thermal spa. Sunday concludes the weekend with a guided tour of the Festival Pavilion, an Art Deco jewel by master Tito Chini, a visit to the historic Fortress of Castrocaro with the Rocca, Arsenals, and the Historical-Archaeological Museum, and the Celestial Aperitif on the panoramic terrace.
The Celestial Night was created to showcase the great thermal tradition of Emilia-Romagna: a network of springs, parks, and establishments that make the region one of Italy's capitals of thermalism. In Castrocaro, the dimension of well-being is combined with culture, thanks to the Liberty and Art Deco heritage of the Spas and the medieval village of Terra del Sole, a fortified city founded by the Medici. Therefore, the event is both a relaxing experience and an opportunity to discover a little-known corner of the Forlì Apennines.
The 2026 edition of the Celestial Night in Castrocaro Terme and Terra del Sole celebrates the theme 'It's a Celebration in the Land of Well-being', with a program spread across the Spas, the Festival Pavilion, the Fortress, and the town center. A weekend that combines the relaxation of thermal waters with nature excursions and the discovery of the Art Deco and medieval heritage of the village.
