Since its creation, the festival “Cultural Dialogue on the Same Stage” has brought together hundreds of artists, musicians and dancers from all over the world, united by a shared passion for folklore and intercultural understanding.
Each edition has taken place in Rimini, Italy, one of the most beautiful seaside destinations on the Adriatic coast. The performances were hosted on the open-air stage of Rivabella, a vibrant community that has become a true home for the event.
First Edition: The beginning of an international tradition. Folk ensembles from Romania, Poland and Bulgaria filled the stage with energy, music and color, creating the foundation of what would become an annual celebration.
Second & Third Editions: The festival grew rapidly, welcoming more than 20
groups from Europe, Asia and North Africa. It was the year that introduced the concept of “Cultural Dialogue on the Same Stage” as a bridge between nations.
Expanding Horizons: With multiple seasonal editions (Summer, High Summer and Late Summer), the event now brings together over 500 participants per year, each contributing to a living mosaic of tradition and innovation.
• Parades and performances in the heart of Rimini’s seaside promenade.
• The warmth and hospitality of local partners and the Rivabella Tourist Committee.
• Artistic exchanges and friendships born between groups of different countries and generations.
• The magic of live music, traditional costumes and open-air shows by the sea.
With every edition, we aim to offer participants not only a stage for performance, but also an environment of cultural learning, respect and friendship.
The journey continues – and the next chapter of the story is waiting for you on stage!
“Rooted in Tradition, Inspired by Tomorrow” – the spirit that connects all our past and future editions.
