Riccione has hosted several community events throughout October. The town celebrated its 104th anniversary with the “CiocoPaese” artisanal chocolate festival, which featured master artisans, craft markets, and live music in the historic center.

Following the anniversary celebrations, the town transitioned to autumn festivities. These included the operation of a 55-meter-tall Ferris wheel in Piazzale Roma and the opening of ‘Pumpkin Park’ at Villa Lodi Fé, an event inspired by American traditions featuring pumpkin carving, mazes, and themed markets.
