We are pleased to invite you to the International Festival San Remo Folklore Now - An Unforgettable combo of folklore and flowers

April 2025 will be a memorable month for many dance clubs and dancers as they gather in the "City of Flowers", the charming and romantic town of San Remo, located in northwestern Italy.

After a journey through the picturesque landscapes of the Riviera dei Fiori (Riviera of Flowers), participants will settle into their hotels in the late afternoon. These hotels are located in the enchanting San Bartolomeo al Mare, right by the sea, and just a short distance from San Remo.

On the second day, there is an optional excursion to explore the magical French Riviera. The first stop is Nice, rightly called the Queen of the French Riviera. Nice is one of Europe’s most attractive tourist destinations, the largest city, and the administrative center of southern France. Renowned for its azure blue sea, long beaches, Promenade des Anglais, lush gardens, and luxurious hotels, Nice also boasts a rich history, numerous museums, parks, viewpoints, a charming old town with narrow winding streets, souvenir shops, restaurants, and shopping areas.
A panoramic tour of Nice will leave you breathless: Angel Bay, Promenade des Anglais, Hotel Negresco, Massena Square, Prince Albert’s Gardens, the Nike Monument, Jean Médecin shopping street, the old town, Palace of Justice, and the stunning viewpoints. There will also be time for personal activities such as strolling, swimming, or sunbathing.

The adventure continues with a visit to the Principality of Monaco, the second smallest country in the world. Here, you can explore the Oceanographic Museum, Princess Grace’s Botanical Garden, the Saint Nicholas Cathedral, where Monaco’s rulers were crowned and where Princess Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III are buried, the Monaco Fortress, and the Prince’s Palace.

The fourth day is dedicated to the competition, a spectacular event that leaves both participants and spectators in awe. The fusion of styles, generations, rhythms, and cultures enriches our understanding of dance as an art form, a medium, and a universal language.

After the competition, participants will explore the magical town of San Remo, one of the most beautiful cities along Italy’s Riviera dei Fiori. Known for its mild climate, stunning architecture, and beautiful sandy beaches, San Remo is situated along the Ligurian coast, part of the Tyrrhenian Sea, also called the Riviera of Flowers, the Coast of the Setting Sun, or the City of Palms.

Nestled on the breathtaking Italian Riviera, San Remo charms visitors with its picturesque seaside setting, elegant promenades, and vibrant cultural scene. Known as the "City of Flowers" thanks to its annual music festival, San Remo offers a delightful mix of natural beauty, historical treasures, and modern attractions. A swim at its perfect sandy beaches will leave a lasting impression…

We invite you to join us and complete with your presence the announced fusion of generations, styles and rhythms!
