Riccione is a kaleidoscope of very interesting and engaging activities and proposals.
The coming weekends of good weather, Easter, and the 25 April and 1 May long weekends will provide the right opportunity not to be missed!
Here are some of the great events not to be missed:
Until 10 June 2023, every second Sunday of the month, from 9 October to 11 June 2023, Il Baule dei Ricordi returns to colour the heart of Riccione Paese. The event is appreciated for the presence of stalls full of curious and sometimes forgotten objects, coins and banknotes, costume jewellery, bronzes, calendars, maps, postcards, paintings, and much more.
Until 1 May 2023, the photographic exhibition on the Mexican artist at Villa Mussolini
A cultural initiative held in collaboration with the Amarissimo Pharmacy, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary. For this special occasion, the Association will display in a shop window in the Pharmacy (Piazzetta del Faro) a work of art with a photo and biography of the author - of national renown - which will be changed every month, ending at Christmas 2023, with a big afternoon party in which the authors will participate together with the twelve works.
From 21 to 25 March 2023, one of the most eagerly awaited events for cycling fans returns, the Settimana Internazionale Coppi and Bartali, the event with stage races reserved for professionals and now in its 25th edition.
The race will pass through important towns in the region: Riccione is scheduled to host the start and finish of the first stage on 21 March and the start of the second stage on 22 March.
On 26 March 2023, one of the most popular events among two-wheel enthusiasts returns: the Gran Fondo City of Riccione, now in its twenty-first edition, the race organised by Gs Euro Bike Riccione and promoted by the Municipality of Riccione.
The Gran Fondo is a high-level sporting event that will start at 8 a.m. from Viale Ceccarini, then move on and cross some of the most beautiful villages in the hills of Romagna, the Marches and the Republic of San Marino to finish back in Riccione, on the ascent leading to the Costa Edutainment group parks, where participants will receive an initial welcome at Oltremare family experience park, a partner of the event. The cyclists will then move on to the Perla Verde shopping centre for the pasta party organised by the Ial hotel and catering school in cooperation with the Riccione Bike Hotels Consortium.
Piazzale Ceccarini will host the Gran Fondo village, where, from the afternoon of Friday 24 March, an exhibition area will also be set up for leading companies in the cycling sector supplying technical equipment. Also in the village area will be the reception area, with the young people of the Cuore 21 Cooperative who will prepare the race packs to be distributed on Saturday 25 March.
The Gran Fondo will also be joined by the Gravel race on 25 March and the Italian Cycling Federation`s regional allievi race on Sunday 26 March. A gymkhana will be organised for children on Saturday 25 March in the afternoon in Piazzale Ceccarini.
On 25 March, from late afternoon, the Palazzo del Turismo will host a talk show featuring Fabiana Luperini and other big names in international cycling moderated by journalist and TV commentator Gianluca Giardini.
