Edition 2025 — Carmelo Feast

In 2025, Leonforte celebrated its primary patron saint, Maria SS. del Carmelo, in the heart of August. On August 16, following the solemn afternoon mass at the Mother Church, the statue of the Madonna was carried in an evening procession on the silver float along the illuminated Corso Umberto, amidst devotional songs, band marches, and great participation from the faithful, ending at Piazza Cappuccini for the fireworks. The feast concluded with the octave on August 23 and the traditional waving of white handkerchiefs.

The 2025 edition of the Patronal Feast of Maria SS. del Carmelo took place in Leonforte according to custom, with the main day on August 16 and the concluding octave on August 23. The street fair along Corso Umberto, which began on August 13, enlivened the town center in the days leading up to the event.

The most anticipated moment was the evening procession: the statue of the Madonna, on the majestic silver float, traveled along Corso Umberto accompanied by the marching band and the devotion of the people of Leonforte, until reaching Piazza Cappuccini where the fireworks display was held. The feast closed on the octave with the moving waving of white handkerchiefs on the churchyard of the Mother Church.
