The 2025 edition of the Festival in honor of the Christ of the Abyss took place on Sunday, August 3, 2025, in the Vallevò district of Rocca San Giovanni, as announced by the Municipality. The maritime community gathered on the Costa dei Trabocchi coastline to pay tribute to the submerged statue with traditional religious rites and festive moments overlooking the Adriatic.

2025 Edition

The Festival in honor of the Christ of the Abyss was held on Sunday, August 3, 2025, in the Vallevò district, in Rocca San Giovanni. The day renewed the fishing community's devotion to the bronze statue placed on the harbor seabed in 1994, with the blessing of the sea and the participation of residents and visitors to the Costa dei Trabocchi.

The event, included in the municipality's summer program, combined religious devotion with the conviviality typical of Abruzzo's maritime evenings, confirming its place as one of the most iconic moments of the summer in Vallevò.
