Edition 2025 — San Giovanni a Monterosso
In 2025, Monterosso al Mare once again celebrated its most important festival, dedicated to the patron saint San Giovanni Battista on June 24th. After the three-day preparation, the eve lit the traditional San Giovanni Bonfire on the beach, linked to the summer solstice fires.
On the festival day, the procession with the La Monterossina Band paraded through the village, followed in the evening by the evocative candles on the sea and the fireworks display launched from the Fishermen's Pier, which illuminated the gulf of the Cinque Terre, concluding one of the most charming patronal festivals on the Riviera di Levante.
