Edition 2025 — Festa del Grano

The 220th edition of the Festa del Grano di Jelsi took place on July 25 and 26, 2025, renewing the vow of 1805 to Saint Anne with the spectacular parade of the wheat 'traglie' and floats and the hand-braided plaits by the village women.

The 2025 edition celebrated 220 years since the tradition began in 1805 after the earthquake that spared Jelsi. As every year, on July 26th, the village in the province of Campobasso saw the parade of the 'traglie' and allegorical floats covered grain by grain with ears of wheat, accompanied by women with long wheat plaits. The blessing of the floats, masses in honour of Saint Anne, and evening events attracted thousands of visitors, confirming the festival as one of Molise's most iconic arboreal rites.
