Edition 2025 — Saint Prosper Feast

In August 2025, Faeto renewed its patronal feast in honor of Saint Prosper the martyr and the Most Holy Savior, following the traditional calendar of the second Sunday of August. Two days marked by holy masses, the solemn procession with the patron's statue and urn, songs by the Lë Faitarë folk group in Franco-Provençal, the fireworks display on Via Roma, and the evening band concert in Piazza Galileo Rubino.

The 2025 edition of the patronal feast of Saint Prosper took place in Faeto according to tradition, on the second Sunday of August and the following Monday. The first day, dedicated to Saint Prosper the martyr, saw the celebration of holy masses and, in the evening, the procession of the patron's statue and urn through the streets of the historic center, with the participation of the folk group Lë Faitarë and the Hymn to Saint Prosper sung in Franco-Provençal and Italian.

Upon the return of the procession, the traditional fireworks display was ignited along Via Roma, while the festival culminated with a concert by the Wind Orchestra in Piazza Galileo Rubino.
