Edition 2025 — Avola Tuna Festival
The 2025 edition of the Avola Tuna and Ghiotta Festival renewed its traditional appeal, enlivening the "Mare Vecchio" seaside village with the flavors and scents of the tonnara. Hundreds of locals, visitors, and tourists crowded the narrow streets overlooking the sea to savor grilled tuna and the famous ghiotta served with onions and local wine.
As per tradition, stands for tastings were set up along the village, alongside typical products and local crafts, while the evenings were accompanied by live musical performances. The event, organized by the Municipality of Avola together with the Tiralongo family, confirmed the community's deep bond with the culture of tuna fishing and the memory of its creator.
