WITCHES’ NIGHT OFFER 2026

🌙 The Witches’ Night in San Giovanni in Marignano

📅 From June 19th to June 23rd, 2026

Forget the world as you know it. As the sun sets over San Giovanni in Marignano, the ancient “Malatesta Granary” transforms into an open-air stage for a magical spell. The Witches’ Night is not just a festival: it is a sensory journey where Romagna folklore meets the profound mystery of the summer solstice. Here is why you absolutely cannot miss the most magical event of the year:

🌙 A Village Transfigured by Mystery

The medieval walls of the village seem to come to life. The alleys fill with dreamlike settings, soft lighting, and artistic installations that will make you doubt you are in 2026. Every corner hides a secret: from fortune tellers reading destinies amidst incense smoke, to magical markets where you can find forgotten stones, herbs, and talismans.

🔥 Breathtaking Performances

Don’t expect an ordinary parade. Here, the air vibrates to the rhythm of ancestral drums and fire shows that pierce the darkness. Street performers, acrobats, and actors stage the Sabbat, reenacting ancient legends of witches who, it is said, gathered right here for their propitiatory rites. Tension and wonder grow until the grand finale, when the purification ritual releases positive energy for the coming summer.

🍷Haunted Flavors and Ancient Traditions

The scent of must and lavender mingles with that of traditional food. You can taste local specialties revisited with a “magical” twist, sipping a glass of wine while trying to catch a glimpse of a witch’s shadow among the rooftops. And don’t forget the Guazza di San Giovanni: it is said that the dew of this night has the power to heal and protect.

✨Why San Giovanni in Marignano is Unique

  • The Atmosphere: A perfect mix of thrills, wonder, and the vibrant Romagna joy of life.

  • The Art: Every year, the village hosts international companies that transform the town into a theater of the absurd and beauty.

  • The Ritual: You will take part in the Burning of the Witch, the culminating event that burns away the negativity of the past year to make room for the light.

Come and lose yourself in the alleys, let the “witches” whisper your future, and dance around the fire. In San Giovanni in Marignano, magic isn’t just something you see—it’s something you breathe.

And when the last bonfire has faded and the magical dawn begins to color the horizon, let yourself be cradled by the hospitality of Hotel Gabbiano, your ideal retreat to turn the dream of the Witches’ Night into an unforgettable awakening just steps from the sea.
