The tradition of Christmas comes to life on the beach of Rimini with the giant sand nativity scenes that can be admired on the free beach of Marina Centro (harbour area).
From 30th November to 12th January 2025, Rimini becomes the city of sand nativities with a spectacular sand crib a stone's throw from the sea.
In Marina Centro visitors are accompanied to admire the nativity scene, which every year is proposed with new scenographies. This year it is the biggest crib ever with giant sand sculptures and sculptural groups varying in size from 1.5 metres to over 4 metres in height, skilfully created by an international team of sand artists.
The sand sculptures are indoors and are part of the Ice Village, which also hosts an ice skating rink, a colorful and lively craft market with handmade Christmas products and Happy Circus with entertainment for families and children a stone's throw from the winter sea.
