Edition 2025 — San Maurizio

From September 16th to 23rd, 2025, Montalbano Jonico celebrated its patron saints Saint Maurice and Companion Martyrs with a week of religious services, a town fair, and concerts. On September 22nd, the Solemn Pontifical Mass by the emeritus Archbishop Salvatore Ligorio and the grand afternoon procession marked the culmination of the festival.

The 2025 edition of the Saint Maurice Festival featured an intense week of events, from September 16th to 23rd. The main day, September 22nd, began with the Solemn Pontifical Mass at 11 AM in the Mother Church, presided over by the emeritus Archbishop Salvatore Ligorio. In the afternoon, the grand procession traversed the main streets of the town, culminating in the evocative return of the effigies of Saint Maurice and his companions, transported "on the boat" for their triumphant return to the church, accompanied by the grand band concert and fireworks. The traditional town fair enlivened September 20th and 21st, while the octave services concluded with smaller processions to the hamlets in the area.
