Madonna della Luce and San Rocco Festival

The 2025 festival in Scorrano

The 2025 edition of the Madonna della Luce and San Rocco Festival took place in Scorrano (Lecce) from Saturday, August 16, to Monday, August 18. The community gathered for the evening procession through the streets of the center and for celebrations in the Church of the Madonna della Luce, while Piazza Vittorio Emanuele hosted the civil events. As per tradition, the town was illuminated with its famous artistic light displays.

The musical program combined Salento folk music, with a concert by Antonio Amato, and more modern evenings like the Hit Mania 90 Salento Fest, in addition to the exhibition of vintage cars and motorcycles and a dialect theater evening organized by the Piccolo Teatro Scorranese.
