Autumn Festival

Autumn Festival 2025 — 28th Edition

The 28th edition was held on Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28, 2025. Saturday began in the morning with the Pinocchio Exhibition and guided tours of the museum, the municipal library, and the "Casa di Lucia"; from 7:00 PM, the food and wine trail ticket office opened, featuring the reenactment of the grape cycle, accompanied by the accordion music of Michele Gennaro and Ciano Cicero, followed by an evening performance by Retro-Ska.

On Sunday, the festival continued with the milk cycle and related tastings, the "saddle baptism" by the Cavalieri di Taverna, live music by Peppolone and Peppe Bruno, street performers, and the traditional greasy pole for children. The focus remained on typical Madonie products: cheeses, cured meats, honey, and genuine autumn specialties.
