Edition 2025 — Feast of Saint Julian

In July 2025, Pollina celebrated its patron saint, Saint Julian the Martyr, with the usual three days of festivities, from Friday to the second Sunday of the month. As per secular tradition, the community gathered around the three processions — the Mayor's, the Countryside, and the Flour Procession — experiencing rites that weave faith and the rural culture of the Madonie, with the closing entrusted to fireworks.

The 2025 edition of the Feast of Saint Julian in Pollina renewed the village's devotion to its patron saint with the traditional program spread over the three days of the second week of July. On Friday, the statue of the Saint was translated from the Church of Saint Julian to the Mother Church, followed by the "Prucissioni du Sinnucu" led by the mayor.

On Saturday, the Countryside Procession towards the San Francesco district took place, with bearers in traditional costume, while on Sunday, the spectacular Flour Procession was held, with mules and donkeys adorned with wheat sheaves alongside worshippers and votive candles. The festivities concluded, as every year, with the fireworks display, confirming the festival as one of the most heartfelt events in the Madonie calendar.
