Edition 2025 — Fucacoste e Cocce Priatorje

The 2025 edition of the «Fucacoste e Cocce Priatorje» took place in Orsara di Puglia between October 31st and November 2nd, with the usual ritual heart on the night of November 1st. Broom-branch bonfires, thousands of carved pumpkins, workshops, guided tours, street artists, Ghost Tours, and the nighttime procession of the Congregation of the Dead drew thousands of visitors from all over Italy to the Monti Dauni village.

The 2025 edition of the festival spanned three days. On Friday, October 31st, the preview day, pumpkin carving workshops were held at the Multipurpose Center, along with the opening of the «Autumn Pumpkin Paths» trail, video mapping on the Abbey facade, and in the evening, the second edition of the Ghost Tour, a guided nighttime visit to the village.

On Saturday, November 1st, the main day, carving workshops, morning and afternoon guided tours, the «Pumpkin Path» starting from Via Cavour, and street band performances took place. At nightfall, around 6:30 PM, the broom-branch bonfires were lit throughout the town, followed by street food stalls and, late in the evening, the procession of the Congregation of the Dead from the Church of San Nicola di Bari.

On Sunday, November 2nd, the festival concluded with the «Journey into Memory», a visit accompanied by actors in period costumes, and visits to the vineyards of the native «Tuccanese» grape variety, in the spirit of the memory and peasant traditions of Orsara di Puglia.
