Edition 2025 — Feast of Saint John the Baptist

In 2025, Castelvetrano celebrated its patron saint, Saint John the Baptist, with the traditional four days of festivities in the historic center. The historical re-enactment by La Perla Imperiale, holy masses, concerts, and the procession of the statue marked the celebrations, culminating on June 24 with the handing over of the city keys to the saint.

The 2025 edition

The 2025 Feast of Saint John the Baptist confirmed the strong bond between Castelvetrano and its patron saint. During the days of the festivities, the historic center hosted religious celebrations, cultural moments, and the highly anticipated historical re-enactment by the La Perla Imperiale association, featuring living tableaux dedicated to the life of the Baptist and local devotion.

As per tradition, on June 24, the Mayor symbolically handed over the city keys to the patron saint, followed by the solemn procession of the marble statue created by Antonello Gagini in 1522. The festival combined faith, historical memory, and popular participation, enlivening the squares of the Trapani municipality.
