New Year’s Eve in Piazza Matteotti

Piazza Giacomo Matteotti will be the heart of the celebrations for New Year’s Eve 2026 in Imola.

The event will take place on the night of December 31, from 11:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., with an evening of celebration, music, and togetherness promoted by the Municipality of Imola with the support of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Imola. The program includes live music, a host who will guide the audience throughout the evening, and the traditional midnight countdown to welcome the new year together. A special guest is also planned and will be announced in the coming days.

The initiative was created with the aim of bringing life to the historic city center, turning it into a space for meeting and socializing, and welcoming the new year in a safe, participatory, and shared way.

For the occasion, Controcorrente, Bar Bologna, and Semplice will remain open, and there will be beverage service activities. Panettone and toasts will not be missing as we celebrate together.

The event is designed to be inclusive, respectful, and mindful of safety and urban decor: for this reason, the use of glass bottles will be prohibited and no fireworks are planned. A New Year’s Eve marked by responsibility, community, and the desire to be together, in the heart of the city.
