What to do in Lignano in October 2025: unmissable events and activities

Discover October 2025 in Lignano: triathlon, footbike, Ping Pong Parkinson, exhibitions & more. Autumn by the sea to remember.

With October arriving, Lignano Sabbiadoro doesn’t slow down – the autumn season brings a fascinating blend of sports, culture, and special moments to enjoy by the sea and in town. Though many summer venues scale back, the town remains lively thanks to a lineup of unmissable events. Here’s what to expect and what to do this October.

Autumn Exhibitions, Culture, and Shows

The exhibition “In riva al Mare” in Lignano Sabbiadoro, open until October 11th, features original illustrations, notebooks, and plates from Elisabetta Mitrovic’s book “In riva al Mare – A Practical Guide for Coastal Explorers.” This exhibition, held at the Municipal Library, explores the beauty and biodiversity of the coast through an artistic and naturalistic approach, with the aim of promoting knowledge and awareness of this ecosystem.

For mystery lovers, the city hosts the Lignano Noir Festival, dedicated to the writer Giorgio Scerbanenco, who used the town as his source of inspiration. Although many events take place in the summer, some festival-related initiatives continue into the fall.

In parallel, the regular program of the Lignano Summer Show extends until November, with shows and evening entertainment for those who want to enjoy music or entertainment even out of season.

Beyond the Events: Autumn Experiences

Beach & Relaxation: As beach services wind down, the coastline reverts to natural, free space—ideal for long walks, quiet reflection, or catching gentle sun rays.

Outdoor Sports & Water Activities: If weather permits, SUP, windsurf and kitefoil remain possible options. For calmer days, paddleboarding near the shoreline or in lagoon areas can be a serene experience.

Bike & Nature Walks: Trails through the pine forest or along the shoreline offer beautiful autumnal views—perfect for cycling or strolling.

Explore Local Life: With locals year-round, many bars, restaurants and shops remain open in central areas. It’s your chance to experience Lignano not as a tourist destination, but as a living  town with authentic flavors and hidden corners.

Triathlon & Watersports: Adrenaline in Autumn

On October 11–12, 2025, Lignano will host the Lignano International Triathlon, featuring Olympic and Sprint distances, with top swimmers, cyclists and runners competing in the streets and seaside.

From October 17 to 19, Lignano Pineta, especially Piazza Marcello d’Olivo, will host the AiCS Footbike Eurocup National Championship – three full days dedicated to the joy of balance and speed on footbikes.

Then, from October 20 to 26, the 6th Ping Pong Parkinson World Championship will take place at Bella Italia Efa Village, bringing together athletes, enthusiasts, and advocates for inclusion.

In short, October 2025 in Lignano is a month to rediscover the place at a slower pace. Sport, art, nature and calm blend into an off-season experience that surprises with its authenticity and variety.

Don’t miss these events, bring your spirit of curiosity, and enjoy Lignano in a new light.
