Feast of Saint Bartholomew — Saint Bartholomew and MORE Festival

The 2025 Feast of Saint Bartholomew in Lipari confirmed its role as the most anticipated event in the Aeolian Islands, with four days of celebration from August 21st to 24th at Marina Corta. The secular program of the Saint Bartholomew and MORE Festival alternated music, comedy, and tradition: on the evening of August 21st, a concert by Shade and a stand-up comedy show by Danny Napoli; on August 22nd, Leo Gassmann joined by Gaetano Mondello & Friends; on August 23rd, the Stile Italiano band and a DJ set by Fonti.

On August 24th, the patron saint's day, the festival reached its climax with the solemn procession of the silver statue and the vascelluzzo, a concert by Lorenzo Fragola, and the grand fireworks display over the Marina Corta gulf, followed by dancing under the stars. An edition that united faith, music, and Aeolian pride for residents and tourists alike.
