I Fanòve di San Giuseppe

The 2025 edition of I Fanòve di San Giuseppe brought Piazza Aldo Moro in Bitritto to life on March 18th and 19th, 2025, with a program packed with music, folklore, and performances around the traditional bonfires. The event, organized by the Pro Loco "Casa Torre" with the Municipality of Bitritto and the support of the Puglia Region, combined the fire ritual with two evenings of entertainment for all ages.

Alongside concerts and performances in the square, the 2025 edition featured craft markets, a funfair, tastings of legumes and local products, a photographic exhibition on the history of the Fanòve, the "Creative Recycling" exhibition, and the "Walk among the bonfires" guided by the "Bitritto in cammino" association.
