Edition 2025 — Tunnina Tuna Festival

In 2025, the Madonna delle Grazie Feast and the Tunnina Tuna Festival took place during the first weekend of July, around July 5th and 6th, on the square of the Church of Madonna delle Grazie in Ispica. The festival combined the solemn procession of the Virgin with the aromas of fresh tuna prepared by the Pro Loco Spaccaforno, featuring grilled Tonnina, tuna arancini, and many evenings of music and dance.

The 2025 edition confirmed the tradition of the first weekend of July in Ispica. The Madonna delle Grazie Feast offered the usual religious rites culminating in the evening procession of the Virgin's statue through the streets of the historic center, accompanied by the band and concluded with fireworks.

In parallel, the Tunnina Tuna Festival enlivened the square of the Church of Madonna delle Grazie with fresh Sicilian tuna stalls: grilled Tonnina, Tonnina with onions, tuna arancini, and raw tuna, served with Sicilian olive oil and lemon. The evenings offered musical shows and dance moments, in a popular festive setting appreciated by residents and visitors of the Iblean area.
