Edition 2025 — Feast of Saint Roch

On August 16, 2025, Pietraperzia celebrated Saint Roch, the town's co-patron, as it does every year. The day, included in the Ferragosto festivities immediately following the feast of Maria SS. della Cava (August 14-15), concluded with the traditional evening procession of the Saint's statue on the float, accompanied by the band through the streets of the historic center.

The 2025 Feast of Saint Roch in Pietraperzia (EN) took place on August 16th, according to the uninterrupted tradition of the co-patron. After the day's liturgies, the evening featured the procession of the statue placed on the float, which departed from the Church of Saint Roch and wound through Piazza Vittorio Emanuele and the streets of the historic center, accompanied by the brass band.

The feast, located at the height of the Ferragosto celebrations in the town of the Enna hinterland, confirmed the strong popular devotion to the pilgrim Saint, a protector invoked against the plague, whose presence in Pietraperzia dates back to the 17th century.
