Edition 2025 — Diospyros Festival

The Diospyros Festival returned to Misilmeri to celebrate the local persimmon between late November and early December, following the success of the first edition in 2024. Piazza Comitato 1860 hosted cooking shows by local chefs, pizza makers, and pastry chefs, tastings of persimmon-based dishes, a Sicilian street food village, and evening performances, confirming the event as one of the key autumn food and wine appointments in the Metropolitan City of Palermo.

The Diospyros Festival edition brought back to Misilmeri the formula that ensured the success of the persimmon festival: three evenings in Piazza Comitato 1860 featuring cooking shows, tastings of innovative persimmon-based recipes, Sicilian street food, stands of local products, and live entertainment. The event, organized by the Municipality of Misilmeri with the support of the Sicilian Region, confirmed the role of the persimmon as a signature product of the territory, enhancing its supply chain with the participation of local producers, restaurateurs, and operators.
