Fiera delle Cirase 2025

The 2025 edition of the Fiera delle Cirase took place on Sunday, May 25, the fourth Sunday of the month, according to Leverano tradition. The day combined religious festivities for the Madonna della Consolazione with the grand cherry festival that brings the center of Leverano to life every year.

The town was filled with stalls offering fresh cherries, jams, preserves, seasonal fruits, and local products, alongside the traditional livestock fair with farm animals and poultry. There was also the characteristic parade of vintage horse-drawn carriages, the most anticipated and spectacular moment of the festival. For the organization of the stalls, the Municipality of Leverano had issued a specific public notice, with applications due by March 31, 2025.
