Rimini Pride 2026

Rimini Pride is a summer circuit Pride — held in July to coincide with the peak of the beach season, when the city's population swells from 155,000 to several hundred thousand. The march proceeds from the city centre to the seafront promenade, combining the political statement of a Pride with the festive atmosphere of a beach resort in summer. Arcigay Rimini organises the event in coordination with the beach clubs and bar circuit. The evening after the march typically features a major party at Altromondo Studios or a comparable venue. Expected attendance: 20,000–30,000, drawing heavily from the beach crowd already in Rimini for the weekend.

Gay Rimini — Your Complete Guide

Everything worth knowing before you go.

Rimini is Italy's premier summer gay beach destination. The Adriatic resort city, famous for its 15-kilometre sandy beach divided into hundreds of numbered stabilimenti balneari, has a defined gay area around Bagno 26 and the Torre Pedrera zone that activates from June through September. The scene is heavily seasonal — winter Rimini is quiet — but in summer the circuit party calendar, beach clubs and bars attract gay visitors from across Italy and Central Europe. Rimini Pride in July is one of Emilia-Romagna's most festive LGBTQ+ events.
