Beldanzando - International Folk Group Gathering

Beldanzando 2025: The 25th Edition

The 2025 edition of Beldanzando celebrated twenty-five years of the festival, taking place on Saturday, August 9, 2025, starting at 10:00 PM in Piazza Umberto I, in the historic center of Ficarra (Messina). Organized by the "M.M. Mancuso" Folk Study Center and the "I Nebrodi" Folk Group, the International Folk Group Gathering - Città di Ficarra Award offered a night of folk dance, traditional costumes, and live music.

As per tradition, the evening combined performances by folk groups with the presentation of the Città di Ficarra Award, a recognition given to an individual who has distinguished themselves in professional, social, or cultural fields. The event was one of the highlights of the Estate Ficarra 2025, a program that featured over forty cultural, musical, and traditional events in the Nebrodi village between late July and September.
