On Sunday, April 13, Mirandola will be the vibrant hub of CicloFesta 2025, an event celebrating the 4th anniversary of the Ciclovia del Sole and kicking off the first Cycling Sunday of the year. Three bike rides—from the south (Crevalcore), north (Concordia sulla Secchia), and west (Rami di Ravarino)—will converge in Piazza della Costituente, which will transform into a lively village promoting sustainable mobility and cycle tourism.
Starting at 10:30 AM, the square will host food stalls with local specialties, bike-themed exhibitors, creative workshops for children, live music, and talks with experts focusing on cycling infrastructure and slow tourism. The first 100 participants to sign up for Cycling Sunday will receive the official #domenicheciclabili t-shirt.
The day also features family-friendly activities: shows, hands-on workshops, educational cycling circuits for children, and a group ride through the historic center. At 2:30 PM, a public talk will bring together bloggers, cycling pros, and mobility advocates to explore the role of the bicycle as a daily lifestyle choice.
A full day of movement, fun, and discovery—CicloFesta 2025 is organized by the Municipality of Mirandola with the support of local authorities and partners.
