A procession of torches and candles for solidarity in the hamlet of Locara
About Lucciolata of Locara
The Lucciolata of Locara
In the hamlet of Locara, in San Bonifacio (province of Verona), there is one evening a year when the streets fill with small lights. It is the Lucciolata of Locara, a procession of torches and candles that crosses the hamlet in a solemn and evocative atmosphere, like a swarm of fireflies in the dark. A tradition promoted by the parish of San Giovanni Battista of Locara which, in 2026, will reach its 23rd edition.
Faith and Fundraising
The event combines the spiritual dimension with solidarity. The Mass, animated by the choir of the parish of San Giovanni Battista, accompanies the evening, while the procession becomes an opportunity for fundraising for facilities that care for terminally ill cancer patients. A concrete gesture of closeness and support for families in the area.
The Lottery of Solidarity
To complete the evening, the traditional Lucciolata lottery, whose prizes and proceeds contribute to the charitable cause. The Lucciolata of Locara is thus much more than a procession: it is an event that, year after year, renews the bond between faith, community, and solidarity in the small eastern Veronese hamlet.
