Edition 2025 — Christmas Lights

The 2025-2026 edition of "Christmas Lights" in Erchie, organized by the Pro Loco with the patronage of the Municipality and the Pastoral Unit, brought the historic center to life with three days dedicated to the traditions of Saint Lucy, the Immaculate Conception, and the Epiphany. The program combined guided tours of the Sanctuary of Saint Lucy, street performers, a scenic tourist train, a nativity scene competition, and tastings of local products, all part of projects funded by the Puglia Region.
