Feast of the Madonna della Consolazione

The 2025 festival opened on August 30 with the ritual transfer of the statue from the church of San Marcello to the church of the Madonna delle Grazie in Piazza Belprato, followed by a solemn Holy Mass and the novena prayer. In the evening, the band Binario 3 performed.

The central days alternated between faith and entertainment: the quiz game "Il Cervellone" (September 4), the charity concert by the Liberi Contro Tribute Band (September 5), the celebration of Saint Anthony of Padua with a procession, the concert by the "Città di Introdacqua" band, and the evocative presentation of the Silver Keys with re-enactors from the Sestiere di Porta Japasseri of Sulmona, concluding with a concert by tenor Piero Mazzocchetti (September 6).

On September 7, pilgrims from Pratola Peligna were welcomed, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at the War Memorial and the "Piantoni" Grand Brass Band Concert of the City of Conversano. The festival concluded on September 8 with Holy Mass at the cemetery.
