CiocoPaese returns to bring joy to the historic heart of the town – Riccione Paese – from Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October.

The official opening, with the stands opening, is scheduled for Friday 16 October at 6.00 pm in the heart of the historic centre. For three days, along Corso Fratelli Cervi, Viale Diaz, Piazza Matteotti and Piazza Unità, master chocolatiers, tastings, workshops focusing on raw ingredients and cocoa processing, and a range of attractions will transform the village into a lively public space for celebration and socialising for residents and visitors alike.

On Friday 16th from 7.00 pm, there will be a performance by the Wald Angels; on Saturday and Sunday, from 4.00 pm to 5.30 pm, a parade by Lady Camelot; whilst on Sunday morning, there will be shows for children.

The event is interwoven with the official programme for Riccione’s Birthday celebrations, combining the craft market with the town’s cultural and musical offerings, before culminating on Sunday 18 October at 6.00 pm in Piazza Unità with the cutting of the giant celebratory birthday cake.
