Edition 2025 — Sant'Egidio e Festa della Montagna

In 2025, the Feast of Sant'Egidio Abate and the Festa della Montagna renewed one of the most beloved traditions in Bojano: on August 31st, the 'pagan' evening procession through the neighborhoods with the band, and on September 1st, the ascent to the hermitage on Monte Matese, with masses, procession, and the popular festival among braziers, tents, and games under the stars.

The 2025 edition of the Feast of Sant'Egidio Abate confirmed the strength of an identity ritual in Bojano. On August 31st, the evening procession traversed the city's neighborhoods accompanied by the band, with convivial stops and impromptu banquets. At dawn on September 1st, families and groups of friends climbed to the hermitage of Sant'Egidio, on Monte Matese, for masses and the procession; then the Festa della Montagna exploded, with braziers, games of morra, tents among the clearings, and nights of conversation under the stars.
