About San Rocco Ripabottoni
San Rocco, August Festival in Ripabottoni
The Festa di San Rocco is one of the most cherished events in the calendar of Ripabottoni (CB), a small village in Basso Molise. It is celebrated on August 16th, the saint's liturgical day, and is part of the dense schedule of events that enlivens the town during August.
Between Faith and Celebration
The central moment is the procession with the statue of the saint through the streets of the historic centre, accompanied by the participation of the faithful. Alongside the religious part are music in the piazza and, in some editions, fireworks displays to close the day. The festival represents a moment of reunion for the community and for the many emigrants who return to the village during the summer period.
Ripabottoni in Summer

A village that, although small, preserves a notable historical-artistic heritage in the heart of Molise.
