Edition 2025 — Madonna delle Grazie Fair

On Sunday, May 4, 2025, the Madonna delle Grazie Fair filled the historic center of Velletri with stalls on the day of the patronal feast. The previous evening, the 412th Procession of the Candles had drawn thousands of faithful, in an edition made special by the Jubilee Year and the path toward the recognition of Velletri as the City of Mary.

The 2025 edition of the Madonna delle Grazie Fair took place on Sunday, May 4, the day of the solemnity dedicated to the patron saint of Velletri. Market stalls enlivened the streets around the Cathedral of San Clemente while religious celebrations continued from 7:30 AM until the solemn evening pontifical Mass presided over by Bishop Stefano Russo.

On Saturday, May 3, the 412th Procession of the Candles started at 7:30 PM, featuring the extraordinary transport of the Santarelle; in the morning, the Sacred Image was displayed, followed by Mass with the bishop, and at 6:30 PM, a celebration with Cardinal Baldassare Reina. The festival closed on Monday, May 5, with the Feast of the Santarelle and the return of the Sacred Image at 6:30 PM.

For the fair, the Municipality of Velletri had opened applications for stall spots from March 5 to April 4, assigned according to the ranking of attendance from previous editions.
