From July 13 to 20, 2025, the city of Rimini will host the 41st edition of Cartoon Club / Riminicomix, one of the most anticipated festivals in Italy dedicated to comics, animated films, and video games.
A week of screenings with the competing short films, thematic exhibitions, solo shows by animators and cartoonists, feature films, meetings with artists, workshops and performances.
The events take place in the city's most evocative locations: Piazza Malatesta, Malatesta castle, Corte degli Agostiniani, Francesca da Rimini Arena, City Museum, San Giuliano Church Cloister, Piazzale Fellini and Palazzo del Turismo. The theme chosen for the 2025 edition is sport told through comics, cartoons and video games. The stories of champions, real and imaginary, become a powerful educational tool, capable of conveying positive values.
Protagonist of this edition is Superman, the legendary superhero, who will be celebrated with an installation, an exhibition at Castel Sismondo and various other initiatives. The guests will include Milo Manara, one of the greatest cartoonists, renowned not only in Italy but worldwide, and author of the Cartoon Club 2025 poster. There will also be a large exhibition and meeting dedicated to Manara.
From 17 to 20 July, Piazzale Fellini will host the 30th edition of 'Riminicomix', the comics and merchandising exhibition-market, alongside the Cosplay Convention, the large gathering dedicated to fans of comics, anime, video games, and TV series.
The fun is guaranteed thanks to an even richer Games area, as well as many concerts, including the eagerly awaited show by the ANIMEniacs group and the king of theme songs Giorgio Vanni, scheduled for 20 July.
Cartoon Club is organised by Acli Arte e Spettacolo di Rimini, with the support of the Municipality of Rimini and national and international collaborations.
