The longest New Year’s Eve in the world - The show of lights
From Saturday 30 November to January 2020
Folklore and Festivals
The party starts in Rimini from November 30th, when a starred roof supported by large balloons with lights, will brighten up Piazza Cavour, transporting Fellini's film imagery and retracing the atmospheres of those unforgettable films through his famous sentences. On November 30th, ‘A sea of fire’ lands in Piazza Cavour with three different performances of fire-eaters, fakirs, acrobats and enchanters up to the performance of the choir at 6.00pm, which will lead to the lighting of the Christmas illumination. This year the city between Piazza Cavour, Piazza Malatesta and Castel Sismondo, will be dedicated to ‘La Dolce Vita’. A fitting which, from November 30th to January 20th, will include exclusive sets, on a red tree-lined carpet. An ice skating rink in a circus of lights will be the protagonist in Piazza Malatesta next to the Galli Theater, the Circ'amarcord market, curated by Cna, brings in via Poletti the artistic craftsmanship in the Liberty style houses and the House of Santa Claus where children can leave letters and do workshops. And then the French carousel of horses with images of La Dolce Vita. Not only the historic center will be illuminated by Fellini's dreams and symbols. Also Borgo San Giuliano, the place so loved by the Maestro, on November 30th (from 4.30 pm) will pay homage to the Fellini's films with a torchlight procession accompanied by the most famous masks of the director's films which will join the celebrations in Piazza Cavour.
