Madonna del Carmine Festival in Venere dei Marsi

Five days of celebration (July 12-16, 2025)

The 2025 edition brought Venere dei Marsi to life from July 12th to 16th with evenings of music, shows, and devotion. The highlight was July 16th, the liturgical feast day: the two flower displays (one along Via Monte Carmelo, following the procession route, and the stunning crochet flower display on the steps of Piazza Madonna del Carmine), the statue procession, and traditional fireworks.

On the evening of July 15th, in Piazza Battaglione Alpini, there was entertainment for children, a live performance by Outlet, and a DJ set. On July 16th, before the grand finale, the tribute band Buon Tempo took the stage with hits by 883 and Max Pezzali, followed at 10:30 PM by the concert of Fabio Rovazzi and the closing fireworks. The event was organized by the Comitato Feste Venere, chaired by Giovanni Mostacci, with the support of the Pescina Municipal Administration. Free admission.
