Edition 2025 — Feast of Saints Philip and James

In 2025, Diso once again celebrated its patron saints, the Holy Apostles Philip and James, with the traditional feast combining religious rites and a civil program. From the eve of April 30 to the first days of May, the village in lower Salento was illuminated with monumental lights and hosted the procession, brass band concerts, and the spectacular daytime fireworks competition.

The 2025 edition of the Feast of the Holy Apostles Philip and James took place in Diso between the end of April and the first days of May, confirming the vitality of a tradition over a century old. As is customary, the eve opened the festivities with the lighting of the illuminations, while the main day featured the procession of the patrons through the streets of the historic center, the solemn Eucharistic celebration, and brass band concerts.

The characteristic daytime fireworks competition was not missing, an authentic trademark of the Diso feast, along with the evening musical shows that enlivened the village. Once again, Diso attracted thousands of visitors, reaffirming its fame as the "smallest town with the biggest feast" in Salento.
