The Adriatic coast of the region Emilia Romagna extends over one hundred kilometres sand beach from the Po-delta to the mountains of Gabicce. One defines this region as a sea of events, meetings, traditions, kitchen and pleasure. The Adriatic coast is at day and night an open-air stage. Together with the excellent Italian kitchen is this the right combination for a music groups meeting in a Mediterranean atmosphere. San Marino is the country, which counts the most foreign visitors in relation to its population.

San Marino is the oldest republic of the world and is located between the Italian regions Romagna and Marken, only few kilometres away from the cities of Rimini and Riccione at the Adriatic Sea. Millions of visitors come up every year to San Marino to see the narrow lanes, the towers on the three rocks and to enjoy the breathtaking panorama from this natural rock terrace over the Adriatic Sea. The miniature state San Marino is rich to art, history and tradition.

During the day concerts in the historical centre of the old part of town of San Marino take place. Each participating brass band has here the possibility for a concert  in the oldest republic of the world. Further places for evening concerts are cities such as Riccione, Rimini or Cattolica at the Adriatic beach, which are 12 months in the year the holiday capitals of Europe. These open-air concerts take place on a typical "Piazza", close to the beach, where all people meet in the evening at typically summer temperatures and mostly beautiful weather.

The farewell evening together with all participating music groups takes place on Saturday evening in a typical Ristorante, inclusive dinner with special food of the region, wine and music. Extensions are possible in Venice, Bologna or Florence. There are a lot of flights coming from all over Europe to this area and you can save money with a long-term planning. music&friends offers a drum set at the concert venues to minimize transport problems for the music groups.
