Edition 2025 — Feast of Saint Nicholas
The 2025 edition took place according to the usual Cammarata tradition. On December 6th, the patron saint's day, the festival began with morning mass at the Mother Church; in the afternoon, the Mayor and the citizens paid floral tribute to San Nicolò with a procession from Palazzo Trajna, followed by Solemn Mass and the evocative evening procession of the saint's gilded wooden bust through the streets of the historic center.
Once the statue was returned to the church, the traditional "Scinnuta d'Ammaculata" took place: the statue of the Immaculate Conception was carried in procession along the nave to the churchyard, while the brass band played the ancient Ninnaredda. On December 8th, at the first light of dawn, the pilgrimage departed from the church of Santa Maria toward the Mother Church for the dawn mass, according to the saying "Acchiana Cola, scinni Maria".
