Spending NEW YEAR’S EVE IN RAVENNA is a perfect idea to round off 2022 and begin 2023 under the sign of music and wonders.
A rich programme of events to say goodbye to the past year and welcome the new one with concerts, guided tours, markets and events in the squares of the city.
A crescendo of fun and good company that will reach its peak with the great gospel concert of Christmas Soul in Piazza del Popolo, taking you from 11 pm directly into the new year.
Do not miss the spectacular videomappings of Ravenna in Luce, which will lighten up the Basilica of San Francesco with dreaming and magic images paying homage to the figure of Dante Alighieri.
Last but not least, the ice-skating rink JFK on Ice at the foot of the majestic Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste, staying open for the occasion until 2 am.
