Edition 2025 — Historical Pageant of Prato
The 2025 edition of the Historical Pageant of Prato, held on Monday, September 8th, 2025, confirmed the tradition of the city's feast in a more contained version. The event, managed directly by the offices of the Municipality of Prato, featured about three hundred participants, including members of historical groups and the Municipal Valets Corps, along a shorter route than in previous years.
The day opened at 10:30 AM with the Solemn Pontifical Mass at the Cathedral of Santo Stefano and the presentation of candles to the Chapel of the Sacred Girdle. In the evening, around 8:00 PM, the "la Risorta" bell of the Palazzo Pretorio announced the departure of the City Banner and the start of the pageant from the Town Hall, arriving in Piazza del Duomo, which was set up with 500 seats and two large screens. The feast concluded with the Ostension of the Sacred Girdle from Donatello's Pulpit.
