Edition 2025 — Saint Michael the Archangel

The 2025 edition of the Feast of Saint Michael the Archangel in Vicari renewed the patronal tradition of the Palermo village. The community gathered for the dawn alborata, the characteristic afternoon cavalcade of mules adorned with bells and tassels accompanied by the roll of drums, and the solemn evening procession of the saint's statue through the village streets, starting from the Church of the Madonna delle Grazie.

The 2025 Feast of Saint Michael the Archangel in Vicari, in the Metropolitan City of Palermo, confirmed the vitality of one of the region's most cherished religious traditions. The day opened at dawn with the alborata and fireworks, continuing in the afternoon with the striking cavalcade of caparisoned mules through the main streets of the village, animated by drums and animals adorned according to ancient Sicilian custom.

In the evening, the procession of the statue of Saint Michael the Archangel crossed the historic center amidst the devotion of the faithful, sealing a festival that unites faith, folklore, and the memory of the rural civilization of the Valle del Torto.
