Love Round @ SNFCC

On the most romantic night of the year, the SNFCC becomes a meeting point for an experience filled with movement, music, and love.

Love Round is not a race. It is an open, non-competitive celebration with no timing or finish lines, where we move freely around the Canal—running or walking—together with those we love.

Music sets the pace and takes us on a journey through different musical eras, creating a continuous flow of beloved sounds that accompany every lap. From ’70s disco and ’80s pop to ’90s rhythms and contemporary dance tracks, each route has its own pulse, transforming Love Round into a moving musical experience.

We simply follow the rhythm. From 5:30 PM onwards, the experience is enhanced with surprises, creating the perfect atmosphere for the most dance-filled stroll of the year.

Put on your trainers—or your finest outfit—wear your biggest smile, and join us in filling the SNFCC with rhythm and energy! Bring your loved one, a friend, your grandfather or grandmother, or even your favorite pet.
