Edition 2025 — Living Nativity Cellamare

The fifteenth edition of the Living Nativity of Cellamare took place during the 2024 Christmas season, with one of the evenings documented on December 30, 2024. As per tradition, the old village welcomed costumed performers, ancient craft workshops, and local product stalls, along a free route through alleys and squares that concludes with the Nativity scene, the spiritual heart of the representation.

In December 2024, the historic center of Cellamare hosted the fifteenth edition of the Living Nativity, confirming a tradition now deeply rooted in the village of the Bari Metropolitan City. During that edition as well, dozens of performers in period costumes animated the alleys of the old town, recreating scenes of daily life and ancient artisan crafts.

Organized by the Santa Maria Annunziata Parish with the patronage of the Municipality of Cellamare, the event combined the religious dimension—with the Nativity scene at the center of the route—with the popular and convivial one, thanks to food stalls featuring traditional local flavors. Admission, as every year, was free and open to citizens and visitors.
