Naples will host the Roller Skating Festival 2026 from October 30 to November 1 in the area between Rotonda Diaz and Lungomare Caracciolo. The event brings temporary driving and parking restrictions to the waterfront, along with the suspension of the cycle path during setup and the festival itself.

What is happening

The Roller Skating Festival 2026 is scheduled for Naples from October 30 to November 1, centered on Rotonda Diaz and Lungomare Caracciolo. The City of Naples has issued a temporary traffic order for the event covering Rotonda Diaz and Lungomare Caracciolo.

Cycle path suspended

The cycle path in Via Francesco Caracciolo is suspended during setup and staging of the event. According to the City notice, the suspension runs from October 29 to November 1.

For visitors, this means the usual waterfront bike route through the festival zone will not be available during those days.

Saturday driving bans: October 31

The main vehicle restrictions fall on Saturday, October 31, from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., or in any case until requirements end.

During that window, transit bans are planned for:

  • Piazza della Repubblica
  • Viale Anton Dohrn
  • The section of Via Francesco Caracciolo between Piazza Vittoria and Viale Anton Dohrn
  • Piazza Vittoria

Parking bans

A no-parking order with forced removal is planned from 10:00 p.m. on Friday, October 30 until 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 31 in Viale Anton Dohrn and along the competition route.

If you normally park on the waterfront, move the car before Friday night and expect enforcement along the race course.

Detours and circulation changes

The City indicates detours and circulation changes around Piazza Vittoria, Via Riviera di Chiaia and the connection with Via Giorgio Arcoleo.

Check posted signs on site: the City states that the measures apply from the installation of the relevant signage and until requirements end, so the exact duration on the ground may vary.

What to check before you go

Two practical points remain open in the published sources. Bus changes operated by ANM are referred to the ANM portal and were not included as a separate acquired document, so check ANM before traveling on Saturday morning. The consulted sources also do not give times for individual races, exhibitions or other festival appointments.

For the festival area itself, use Rotonda Diaz and Lungomare Caracciolo as your reference points, and allow extra time for detours around Piazza Vittoria and Riviera di Chiaia.
