LA MADONNA DEL MARE
Like every year on 16 and 17 July, our beloved Riccione celebrates this important anniversary dedicated to the Madonna of the sea, a religious and marine tradition in honor of the Virgin Mary who renews the bond between our beloved city and its equally beloved sea.
To open the celebrations, on July 16 there is the sailing of the historic boats from Romagna - Le Mariegole - expected at 17.00, ready to give us emotions thanks to their colored sails, including those of the splendid "Saviolina" or the boat symbol of Riccione!
Later on July 17, the last day of celebrations, at 9.30 there is the deposition of the crown in honor of the Madonna of the sea and the historic procession of the Saviolina and the rest of the boats present.
Finally, the Sunday day ends at the hands of the Holy Mass in the port square at 21.15 and to follow as the last event ever, the inevitable fireworks display by the sea.
