Edition 2025 — Maria SS. del Mirto

In the 2025 edition, Villafranca Sicula celebrated its patron saint, Maria SS. del Mirto, on the weekend preceding the first Sunday of August, culminating on Sunday, August 3, 2025. The two factions of the sammichilari and the sangiuannara brought to life the entry of the laurel, the rigattiate, and the grand procession, followed by the traditional fireworks competition.

2025 Edition

The 2025 edition of the Maria SS. del Mirto Festival took place in Villafranca Sicula (AG) in early August, with the highlight on Sunday, August 3, 2025. The town was once again divided between the sammichilari in blue and the sangiuannara in red, protagonists of the entry of the laurel on the eve and the rigattiate, the devotional race of the statues of Saint Michael and Saint John to the rhythm of the band.

On Sunday, after the solemn Holy Mass and the tour of the drummers, the grand procession took place with the painting of the Madonna del Mirto on a flower-adorned float. The festivities concluded with the usual fireworks competition, one of the most appreciated in Sicily, which illuminated the sky of the Agrigento village.
