Edition 2025 — Saint John the Baptist Feast

The 2025 edition of the Falcone patronal feast took place on Sunday, October 26th, the last Sunday of the month, preceded by the traditional livestock market on the last Thursday. The celebrations combined solemn masses in the Mother Church of Saint John the Baptist, a procession of the saint's statue through the town streets, and open-air performances in the squares, in an atmosphere of devotion and popular celebration that involved the entire community.

The Celebrations in honor of Saint John the Baptist in 2025 brought Falcone to life during the days around the last Sunday of October. The religious program focused on solemn masses in the Mother Church dedicated to the patron saint and on the evening procession, which passed through the main streets and squares of the village, visiting the most representative places of worship.

Faithful to the town's farming tradition, the feast was preceded by the livestock market on the last Thursday of the month. The squares were transformed into spaces for performance and gathering, confirming the strong bond between the community of Falcone and its patron saint. The event, with free admission, was promoted by the Municipality of Falcone.
