Festa Grande - Patronal Feast of Maria SS. Addolorata

Festa Grande 2025 - 291st edition

The 2025 edition of the Festa Grande in Mola di Bari took place from September 11 to 15, celebrating the 291st anniversary of the patronal feast of Maria SS. Addolorata. The historic center of the town, in the province of Bari, was illuminated with traditional artistic lights while the local street band 'U Tammorr' traveled through the town streets with its marches.

The most anticipated moment was the Sunday gala procession, preceded by flag-wavers and accompanied by the municipal banner, culminating in the evocative handing over of the city keys to the Madonna on the parvis of the Church of the Maddalena. The evenings offered band concerts in the bandstand, gastronomic events, and spectacular fireworks over the Adriatic Sea, in a celebration that involved the entire community and the many locals who returned for the occasion.
