There will also be the traditional rendez-ous with Operetta and the Compagnia Corrado Abbati, which this year proposes a new edition of one of its best-loved repertoire titles, La vedova allegra (14 December).
It will be up to dance to inaugurate the Season on Friday 8 November with an international excellence: Parsons Dance, the American contemporary dance company among the most successful in the world, loved by audiences of all ages for the vitality of its choreographies that seem to defy the force of gravity, will return to Italy with its new tour, Balance of Power, which in a little over a month will touch down in Rimini and some of the main national theatres.

Enthusiasts have the opportunity to discover training trends with the most innovative and trendy sports disciplines and competitions for staying in shape.

Rimini will kick off the tour with the first stage of the RDS Summer Festival to coincide with the Notte Rosa, the great early summer festival for the 2025 edition which this year coincides with the summer solstice weekend, the weekend of 20-21-22 June.
On Friday 20 and Saturday 21 June Rimini will host the first stage of the RDS SUMMER FESTIVAL 2025, the first of the four national stages of the tour that will see the new generation of talents and the most important artists of the moment take turns on stage, many of them protagonists of the last Sanremo Festival and firmly at the top of the radio and streaming charts. The events will host spaces dedicated to activities with sponsors, for exclusive entertainment, sampling and engagement experiences, with gadgets, prizes and exclusive experiences.
After Rimini, it will be the turn of Senigallia (27-28 June), Monopoli (4-5 July) and finally Olbia (11 and 12 July): eight evenings of entertainment and music with free access that will bring all the energy of RDS 100% Grandi Successi and RDSNEXT music.

The Notte Rosa is back, dressing pink the whole of Romagna for three days. 
The 'New Year's Eve' of the summer, the great celebration of the Riviera, reaches its 20nth edition. The entire coastline, with its beating heart in Rimini, will be coloured pink from dusk to dawn in an explosion of lights, sounds and images, a widespread event with music, dance, shows, magical scenery, and as usual, the fireworks display that will color the sea and sky simultaneously all over the Riviera. 
The claim of this edition is "Hit's Summer", which best expresses the new spirit of the event: the beat of summer, the sound of music, the rhythm of celebration. HIT'S therefore has a double meaning: Hit's Summer is summer itself, but also the HITs of summer, whiche does not mean only music and songs, but all the excellences of summer in Romagna, from food to sport and the sea.
It will be a long pink weekend embracing the brightest days of the year, with events in every time slot: from concerts at dawn to wellness proposals, from sports dance to initiatives for children and young people, from pop music to jazz, from folk to indie, passing through food and wine and local excellence. 
Artistic director Claudio Cecchetto.

The world of TV series with its protagonists will meet in Rimini (Cinema Fulgor, Teatro Galli and Corte degli Agostiniani) and Riccione (PalaRiccione, Multiplex CinePalace) for the first edition of the Italian Global Series Festival, the international event dedicated to TV series promoted by the Audiovisual Producers Association (APA) with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the SIAE and AGIS. 
The festival picks up the legacy of the ten editions of the Roma Fiction Fest with the aim of offering a renewed edition in line with modern modes of enjoyment and new content.
The programme is packed with screenings, award ceremonies, activities and events that will involve all the protagonists of the sector: actors, producers, directors, talent and journalists. Among the appointments not to be missed are the Cesaroni reunion, the meeting with the cast of Mare Fuori, and the awards to Carlo Verdone, Elena Sofia Ricci, and the British actress Adjoa Andoh.
A tribute to the great Sicilian writer and screenwriter Andrea Camilleri on the occasion of the centenary of his birth could not be missing.  Great emphasis is given to the International Competition with a shortlist of titles that will be judged by a jury of professionals.

On the occasion of Don Oreste Benzi's birth centenary, a place dedicated to the priest from Rimini opens in the heart of the city where it is possible to learn about and explore the life and thought of the ‘priest with the worn cassock’.

On show 27 drawings by Fellini (20 on paper and 7, particularly original and rare, on napkins) dating back to the 1970s belonged to Danilo Donati, one of the great costume and set designers of Italian cinema. 
Among his many awards, Donati won an Oscar for the costumes of Federico Fellini's film 'Il Casanova', which are exhibited at the Fellini Museum together with those of 'Rome'.
The collaboration between Donati and the director from Rimini goes beyond the professional collaboration that began on the set of Fellini's Satyricon at the end of the 1960s and continued throughout the following decade with Fellini's great frescoes of Rome, Amarcord (of which he reconstructed the village in Cinecittà) and Il Casanova. Donati would then return to work with Fellini in the mid-1980s, for the costumes of Ginger and Fred and for the costumes and sets of Intervista.

The 2025 edition takes place from 1 March to 1 August, with more than 60 concerts welcoming big and emerging artists, without any style preclusions and with a notable quota of female presences.
From the motherland of jazz, the United States, come ‘ top-class’ musicians, names that set the artistic standard against which all will then have to measure themselves. In Rimini, the appointment is with Jazzmeia Horn, vocals, who will be in quartet with Victor Gould, piano; Jason Clotter, double bass; Michael Reed, drums.

Crossroads Jazz e Altro in Emilia Romagna is an itinerant festival that takes place throughout the Emilia Romagna region, and is one of the major European initiatives in this field. The 2025 edition takes place from 1 March to 1 August, with more than 60 concerts welcoming big and emerging artists, without any style preclusions and with a notable quota of female guests.
On the Rimini stage, together with the varied ensemble of the Italian Jazz Orchestra directed by Fabio Petretti (17 elements with a crossover instrumentation between jazz and classical music), will be Flavio Boltro and Walter Ricci, among the top artists of made-in-Italy jazz music.
The Italian Jazz Orchestra revives one of the most successful of the original productions realised over the years for the Crossroads festival: “Unforgettable”, an orchestral jazz kolossal dedicated to Nat King Cole (1919-1965), a superlative jazz musician whose success was so overwhelming that he became an artist loved far beyond the categories of musical genres. First and foremost a jazz pianist, Cole reached the pinnacle of fame when he also began to offer himself as a singer. His performances and trio recordings have made him a timeless model of American popular music.

The paths of Vittorio Tondelli and CCCP cross once again in Rimini. Pier Vittorio Tondelli's books, steeped in music on every page, and the records of CCCP, one of the most influential punk rock groups of the tumultuous 1980s. 
The CCCP return to revive the energy and power of an era that marked the history of music and culture.
Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, Massimo Zamboni, Annarella Giudici, Danilo Fatur - accompanied by the band made up of Luca Alfonso Rossi, Ezio Bonicelli, Simone Filippi, Simone Beneventi and Gabriele Genta - will be in Piazzale Fellini for a concert that will be one of the highlights of the calendar of initiatives that the city of Rimini will dedicate to Pier Vittorio Tondelli, 80 years after his birth and 40 years after the release of his novel “Rimini”, presented at the Grand Hotel on that legendary 5 July 1985. A way to pay homage to the writer and his imagination, and to recount a decade rediscovered not only in its contradictions and extremes, but for the indelible marks it left on contemporary society and culture.  
On the occasion Rimini Municipality is planning a series of events and proposals throughout the year, including music, cinema, literature and meetings. So, after the exhibition "Felicitazioni! CCCP - Faithful to the Line 1984-2024‘, after the ’Gran Gala Punkettone of words and images‘, the three dates at Berlin's Astra Kulturhaus with the ’CCCP in DDDR‘ concert, and the release of the unreleased album ’Altro Che Nuovo Nuovo‘, CCCP-Fedeli alla linea will return to Italy's most important outdoor stages for a ’last call".
The tour, conceived and curated in collaboration with Luca Zannotti's Musiche Metropolitane, will kick off on 30 June from Rome, and then touch down in Naples, Bari, and Padua before a stop in Rimini, before concluding in Messina.

Crossroads Jazz e Altro in Emilia Romagna is an itinerant festival that takes place throughout the Emilia Romagna region, and is one of the major European initiatives in this field. The 2025 edition takes place from 1 March to 1 August, with more than 60 concerts.
The most recent entry in the cast of artists in residence for Crossroads is singer Karima.
After years spent cultivating her passion for black music and jazz, with ‘Canta Autori’ Karima returns to her roots, singing the music of the land where she was born and grown up. 
The new project is a homage to Italian music, which she has always loved but with which she is only now finding her own personal harmony. 
In this new selection of songs, Karima respects the melodies but adds those black music veins that are her distinctive trait, supported by the new arrangements by Piero Frassi, who has worked alongside Karima for 20 years now. Songs such as ‘Anna verrà’ and ‘Bella 'mbriana’ by Pino Daniele, ‘Il nostro concerto’ by Umberto Bindi, “Fortuna” by Mario Venuti, ‘Quando l'amore se ne va’ by Edoardo De Crescenzo... will be performed in the show.

The Summer festival of meetings, exhibitions, music, shows, sports and children's village activities, is now in its 46th edition, which focuses on friendship between peoples. An international event that addresses crucial topics, in free and open dialogue with the most interesting personalities of culture, politics and faith.
The 2025 edition will bear the title ‘In vacant places we will build with new bricks’, taken from the Choruses from ‘The Rock’ by Thomas Stearns Eliot, on which conferences, exhibitions and performances will take shape.
As usual, many will be the activities for young people both in the Sports Village with its 13,000 square metres of playing fields and in the Youth Village, a very large space with exhibitions, theatre, workshops and events. 
The Meeting is also an event that is narrated live using new technologies: the main conferences are broadcast in Italian, English and Spanish on the website and the Youtube channel and are later available in other languages.
The heart of the event are the three thousand volunteers who come to Rimini from Italy and all over the world to organise, set up and run the Meeting. 

Lo specchio di Dioniso (The Mirror of Dionysus) combines ancient and contemporary music on the stage of the Teatro Galli, where the madrigals that the Renaissance musician Luzzasco Luzzaschi dedicated to the soloists of the Concerto delle Dame di Ferrara are compared with the new madrigals composed by Claudio Ambrosini, Alberto Caprioli and Luigi Sammarchi in a performance curated by Guido Barbieri that features the voices of Monica Bacelli, Valentina Coladonato and Laura Lanfranchi, conducted by Ugo Naustrucci and the Ensemble Il dolce sguardo.
