Our Lady of Perpetual Help Festival

The 2025 Our Lady of Perpetual Help Festival brought Porto Cesareo to life on June 27 and 28. On Friday the 27th, the community experienced the evocative Sea Way of the Cross, with the fourteen stations set up leading to Piazza Nazario Sauro, followed by the holy mass celebrated by Monsignor Domenico Caliandro and the religious procession through the town center.

Saturday the 28th opened with the "A. Reino" marching band from the City of Veglie playing through the streets, and the free "Sea for All" excursion dedicated to people with disabilities. In the evening, after the holy mass in the mother church and the procession, the festival continued with tastings from Cantine Paolo Leo and the lyrical-symphonic concert in the square, the grand finale of the patronal festivities.
