The Epiphany Dive
On January 6th, on the beach of the Riviera dei Pini, fearless swimmers gather to celebrate the arrival of the new year with a unique event.
They come from different parts of Italy and dive into the sea in costume, welcoming the new year with a smile. Among the many outfits, the funniest costume will be awarded.
The dive is the most anticipated moment of a day full of celebration and fun for all ages.
For families, there will be wooden games and entertainment, a market, shows, street performers, and sweet treats for all children.
Also featuring: the Musicanti di San Crispino in parade, musical entertainment with Radio Bruno, and laughter with the "Original Befana 2026" award!
Don’t miss the food stand at La Casina, with a special menu featuring Cardo Gobbo di Cervia, mulled wine, and panettone for everyone!
The program begins two days earlier with the Befana Run on Sunday, January 4th, and continues with “Waiting for the Befana” on Monday, January 5th — a day of activities for children and families.
