Panzerotto Festival

The 2025 Panzerotto Festival in Terlizzi

On December 13, 2025, on the occasion of the liturgical feast of Saint Lucy the martyr, Terlizzi experienced one of its most cherished gastronomic traditions: the panzerotto festival linked to the saint's celebrations. The event, organized by the parish of San Gioacchino with the patronage of the Municipality of Terlizzi, took place in Piazza Cavour, between the parish of San Gioacchino and the church of Santa Lucia.

The day alternated between moments of faith and celebration: liturgical celebrations, presided over by Monsignor Felice di Molfetta, bishop emeritus, were followed by the tasting of panzerotti prepared by parish volunteers. A large bonfire in the square served as a meeting point for the community, while musical entertainment was provided by the group Costantino Colasanto and Fantasy Jazz. The 2025 edition also highlighted the theme of the fight against gender-based violence, combining tradition, taste, and social commitment.
