Passione Bachata Congress returns for its 11th edition, organised by Lio Bachatero, from Friday 6th to Sunday 8th November 2026. The weekend takes place at the Sunny Palace Hotel in Prossedi, in the Monti Lepini area of the Latina province, with accommodation available on site. Five couples are confirmed: Alex & Emilia from Madrid, Eduard & María, Giovana & Rafael, Victor & Alba and Michal & Nicki, with DJ Husky, DJ Alessio Calcagno, DJ Bear and Lio Bachatero behind the decks. Friday opens with a workshop by Alex & Emilia before the shows and the party, and Saturday night hosts the Bachata Social Italian Cup Jack and Jill. Passes start at 20 € for the Friday party, with the full pass at 109 €.

Eleven editions is a solid track record for an Italian weekender, and a hotel venue keeps workshops, parties and rooms under one roof. On 31 October the organiser reported only the last 50 Saturday entries left, while Friday access stays available, so book Saturday now if you want it. Prossedi is rural, so plan a car or transfer from Rome.

Staying: the congress runs at the Sunny Palace Hotel, which offers on site accommodation.
