About Santa Cecilia Potenza

The Festa di Santa Cecilia – Musica e Sport is the historic festival of the Poggio Tre Galli district in Potenza, organized by the parish of Santa Cecilia. For over thirty years, it has combined sports tournaments for adults and children, musical evenings, and religious celebrations in an atmosphere of friendship, solidarity, and inclusion.

The festival of the Poggio Tre Galli neighbourhood

The Festa di Santa Cecilia – Musica e Sport is one of the most beloved events in the Poggio Tre Galli district, in Potenza. Organized by the Parish of Santa Cecilia, the event boasts over thirty years of history and has become a point of reference for families in the neighbourhood and the entire provincial capital of Basilicata.

Sport for all ages

The heart of the festival are the sports tournaments: five-a-side football, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, foosball, and card games, to which disciplines such as street basketball and foot-tennis have been added over the years. A programme designed to involve children, teenagers, and adults, in the spirit of healthy fun and togetherness.

Music and religious celebrations

Alongside sport, the festival offers musical evenings and entertainment that liven up the neighbourhood, while the religious dimension culminates in the procession through the streets of the district and the solemn Eucharistic celebration in honour of Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music.

A sign of community

As the parish priests recall, the festival aims to be "a reflection of meeting, friendship, solidarity, and inclusion": an occasion for the community of Poggio Tre Galli to come together, strengthening the bonds that make it vibrant.
