White Night of Sport and Paralympic Sport

A full night dedicated to sport in Pineto

The White Night of Sport and Paralympic Sport is one of the most anticipated summer events in Pineto, a seaside town in the province of Teramo, Abruzzo. For one full evening, the seafront and town center turn into a giant open-air gym, where dozens of local sports associations offer demonstrations, exhibitions, tournaments, and open trials for everyone, from sunset until the first light of dawn.

The event is promoted by the Municipality of Pineto in collaboration with the Department of Sport, UISP Teramo, and the Pineto Merchants and Artisans Association, involving numerous local groups. Since its inception, the event has placed inclusion at its heart: Paralympic sport is not just a side feature but an integral part of the program, with joint exhibitions between able-bodied and Paralympic athletes, supported by the Italian Paralympic Committee and CONI Abruzzo.

Five themed areas across the city

The format divides the city into themed areas, each identified by a color and dedicated to specific disciplines:

• Pink Area at Parco della Pace, featuring dance, gymnastics, and skating;
• Green Area in the central zone, dedicated to yoga, pilates, and relaxation;
• Yellow Area, between Via della Robbia and Hotel La Pineta, for martial arts, fitness, and gyms;
• Red Area in the center, with ballroom dancing, Latin-American rhythms, and DJ sets;
• Blue Area, from the sea toward the beach, with soccer, basketball, and beach volleyball.

These are complemented by a kids' area, spaces dedicated to Paralympic sport, music spots, and refreshment points with street food and local specialties.

Sport, entertainment, and the Blue Flag

The evening is marked by an official ceremony on the main stage, featuring greetings from authorities and the celebration of the Blue Flag, an award Pineto has received for many consecutive years, testifying to the quality of its sea and coastline. Between demonstrations, live music, DJ sets, and entertainment alternate in a festive atmosphere that engages families, athletes, and curious visitors alike.

Those who stay until dawn can experience the most evocative moment of the White Night: yoga, pilates, and SUP sessions by the sea, and the traditional appointment with music at the Club Morning at Lido La Cambusa. It is an original way to discover Pineto and the Teramo coast, where sport becomes an opportunity for social interaction, wellness, and promoting the Abruzzo region.
