Edition 2025 — Saint John Bosco
2025 Edition
In 2025, the festivities, promoted by the Basilica of the Santissima Annunziata, concluded on Sunday, February 2, with great participation from the faithful and devotees. The day of the outdoor feast opened with cannon fire and festive bell ringing, continued with the "gala tour" through the city streets with the Don Bosco Catholic Association, and the children's Mass presided over by Father Manlio Savarino.
In the afternoon, the "Città di Floridia" and "Grifoni di Biscari" musicians and flag-wavers performed. The procession passed through the streets of the center—including Roma, Piazza Unità d'Italia, Corso Umberto I, and Corso Garibaldi—reaching the church of Santa Maria di Gesù and Largo Don Paolo Ferlisi, where the youth from the catechesis group led an intense moment of prayer. The evening closed with fireworks before the return to the Basilica.
