Vari luoghi della città. Villaggio di Natale in viale Ceccarini e viale Dante, inizio di viale Gramsci
Riccione Ice Carpet
The ice skating rink in viale Dante (from viale Ceccarini to piazzale Ceccarini), the great Christmas tree, the house of Santa Claus, street performances, from 24th November till 24th January.
Riccione Ice Carpet is the Christmas format that leads the city and its guests through two months of events and performances arranged inside a special setting.
The most famous street, viale Ceccarini, turns into a kind of open-air arcade, dotted with a shower of small lights that overlooks the green of pine trees and a wood of plants and bushes. On the walk, a thin white carpet turns into ice, when it crosses the ice skating rink that starts in Viale Dante and extends up to the performances’ arena of Piazzale Ceccarini. Riccione Ice Carpet’s Christmas village is dedicated to high quality shopping: the typical small beach cabins have been installed on the white carpet to offer handcrafted items, excellent food and wine, special local products.
RICCIONE ICE CARPET – THE EVENTS
A calendar full of events and appointments that until 24th January offers entertainment and performances of high quality, selected to reach a wide audience, ranging from every age to any target.
