Edition 2025 — Emigrant's Festival

In August 2025, the Emigrant's Festival brought the historic center of Seclì to life, welcoming emigrants and their families back to the town. Evenings of folk music, pizzica, and dancing accompanied the community, coinciding with the twenty-fifth edition of the Sagra te la carne te cavaddhru, which took place on August 22nd and 23rd and attracted thousands of visitors to the town.

The 2025 edition of the Emigrant's Festival took place as it does every year in August in the historic center of Seclì, in Salento. The village in the province of Lecce welcomed its emigrant sons with festive evenings filled with traditional music, songs, tambourines, and Salento pizzica.

The event was intertwined with the Sagra te la carne te cavaddhru, which reached its twenty-fifth edition in 2025 and was scheduled for August 22nd and 23rd: two days that, between the "paninu cu li pezzetti" stands and folk music concerts, transformed the historic center into a great meeting place for residents and returning guests.
