Welcome to the Rome Parade 2025!
Get ready to experience a day filled with music, colors, and entertainment on January 1, 2025, as the streets of Rome’s historic center come alive with the Rome Parade. This event, created and organized by Destination Events, the same team behind the famous London Parade, is celebrating over 10 editions and is set to once again transform the Capital into a stage on the first day of the new year.
The event will be officially kicked off by the President of the Capitol Assembly, Svetlana Celli, who will cut the ribbon at 3:30 pm from the starting point at Piazza del Pincio. She expressed her excitement, “It is a great pleasure for us to host the Rome Parade once again – an event that turns the heart of our city into an international stage. Rome will welcome bands, groups, and artists from all over the world, offering a unique show that combines music, culture, and tradition. There couldn’t be a better way to celebrate the start of the new year, which will be even more special due to the Jubilee dedicated to hospitality, sharing, and hope. The Eternal City reaffirms itself as a capital of openness and celebration, ready to provide unforgettable emotions to citizens and visitors on such a special day. I thank the organizers and everyone who made this extraordinary event possible.”
