About Pinkest Night

Every summer, Porto Sant'Elpidio, on the Fermo coast of the Marche region, turns pink for The Pinkest Night of the Marche Riviera, one of the most anticipated summer festivals on the Adriatic coast. For an entire night, the town center and the seafront come alive with free concerts by major Italian music stars, markets, shows, scenic installations, and themed atmospheres. An event that draws tens of thousands of people and transforms the entire city into a large open-air stage, filled with fun, live music, and the sea.

A night all in pink on the Fermo Riviera

The Pinkest Night of the Marche Riviera is the flagship summer event of Porto Sant'Elpidio, a seaside town in the Province of Fermo facing the Adriatic Sea, in the heart of the Marche coast. Inspired by the famous Pink Night of Romagna, the event dresses the entire town in pink: shop windows, bars, streets, and the long seafront are illuminated with vibrant shades, creating an evening of celebration that involves residents, tourists, and visitors from all over the Marche region.

Live music and big guests

The heart of The Pinkest Night is music. Every year, nationally renowned artists perform on the main stage in Piazza Garibaldi, with strictly free concerts. Over the years, the festival has hosted well-known Italian pop stars, capable of drawing thousands of spectators to the stage. Alongside the main concert, the program extends throughout the city with DJ sets, bands, entertainment, and itinerant shows that continue until late at night.

Markets, shows, and festive atmosphere

In addition to concerts, The Pinkest Night offers a rich program spread along the seafront and in the town center: markets, food stalls, themed installations, shows for families, and entertainment for children. Shops and businesses stay open late and participate in the pink decoration of the city, creating a unique atmosphere that blends evening shopping, gastronomy, and entertainment.

An event that grows year by year

Born a few years ago, the event has quickly established itself as one of the most popular events of the Marche summer, with editions that have attracted over one hundred thousand visitors and had a significant impact on local tourism and commerce. Organized by the Municipality of Porto Sant'Elpidio, The Pinkest Night is now a symbol of summer on the Fermo Riviera and a perfect opportunity to discover one of the most vibrant seaside resorts in the Marche.
