The late summer white night in the historic center of Savignano sul Rubicone
Every year, at the beginning of September, the historic center of Savignano sul Rubicone lights up for the White Night, the event that says goodbye to the end of summer and accompanies the town in the Province of Forlì-Cesena towards the new season. For an entire evening, the streets and squares of the center are closed to traffic and transformed into a large party space, where music, shows, and gastronomy intertwine until late at night.
The heart of the event is Piazza Borghesi, where the street market and the food truck area are set up, while other areas of the center - including Piazza Amati, Corso Vendemini, and the Torricino - host stages and spots with live concerts, DJ sets, and performances. Shops remain open until late in the evening, offering new arrivals for the new season, and the atmosphere is typical of Romagna's white nights: families, young people, and curious visitors strolling from one square to another.
The program alternates different genres and styles: concerts by bands and singer-songwriters, DJ sets to dance under the stars, street artists, jugglers, and street theater performances also designed for children. The food and wine offer accompanies the evening with Romagna specialties and food truck offerings, in a journey that invites you to stop and savor the local products.
The White Night is organized by the I-Fest association together with the center's merchants and with the patronage of the Municipality of Savignano sul Rubicone. Included in the city's summer program "La Dolce Estate," the event represents one of the most cherished by the Savignano community and a major draw for visitors from the entire Rubicone area and Romagna.
A simple and engaging evening that showcases the hospitable spirit of Romagna and the identity of the community of Savignano sul Rubicone, in Emilia-Romagna.
