Madonna della Scala Festival (Scala Torregrotta)

2025 Edition

From July 31 to August 3, 2025, the Scala district of Torregrotta celebrated the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Scala with a rich religious and secular program. The Gold Night (July 31) opened the festivities with a foam party and DJ set along the seafront; the Red Night (August 1) in Piazza S. Maria della Scala featured performances by local schools, a concert by Stile Italiano, and a food festival with sausage sandwiches, hot dogs, and watermelon.

The White Night (August 2) animated several squares with a parade of sports associations, sand art by Carlo Comito, and the White Talent Show, while solemn vespers on Corso Sicilia preceded the blessing of the sea with a floral tribute to the fallen and the Marian procession by boat. The Blue Night on August 3 featured a pontifical mass presided over by Cardinal Paolo Romeo - for the first time in the town's history - followed by the procession and the Act of Entrustment of the community to the Virgin.
