Edition 2025 — Pagliara Maje Maje

In 2025, La Pagliara Maje Maje once again animated Fossalto on May 1st, confirming the vitality of a rite that attracts locals, returning emigrants, and folk tradition enthusiasts every year. The Pagliara procession, the bagpipe, and the convivial moments marked a day of celebration from morning until evening.

The 2025 edition confirmed the strong roots of the Pagliara Maje Maje in the community of Fossalto. The arboreal rite, with the protagonist covered in branches and flowers and accompanied by the bagpipe, paraded through the historic center, welcoming the arrival of spring. Amidst blessings, tastings of local products, and music, the day combined the sacred and the profane in the name of rebirth. The organization was handled by Pro Loco "Eugenio Cirese" with the Municipality of Fossalto.

Programme

The 2025 program followed the traditional structure: blessing and procession of the Pagliara in the morning, exchange of the floral cross and tastings at noon, itinerant lunch, and musical events in the afternoon and evening.
