Edition 2025 — Feast of Saint John the Baptist

In June 2025, Randazzo celebrated Saint John the Baptist with the customary triduum at the Church of San Martino, blessings for pregnant women, and the distribution of the Saint's medals. On June 24, the procession of the statue on the "Varetta," accompanied by the Band, moved through the historic center, followed by the Saint John Auction and fireworks, while the Ancient Fair animated the San Martino district.

2025 Edition

The 2025 edition of the Feast of Saint John the Baptist took place in Randazzo in the San Martino district. The days followed the established ritual: a preparatory triduum, pilgrimages from neighboring communities, and the offering of wax on the eve, leading up to the solemnity on June 24.

The most anticipated moment was the procession of the statue of Saint John, carried on the traditional "Varetta" by young men in white, amidst the ringing of bells and the waving of handkerchiefs. The day concluded with the traditional Saint John Auction and the fireworks display. Throughout the period, the Ancient Saint John Fair brought the medieval village to life with livestock, agricultural tools, handicrafts, and local products.
