Edition 2025 — Historical Cavalcade of Deliceto

From September 21 to 23, 2025, Deliceto celebrated the Madonna dell'Olmitello with three days of devotion, tradition, and entertainment. The heart of the festival was the Historical Cavalcade on September 22nd, featuring knights and ladies in 19th-century costumes, followed by solemn processions and the agricultural and livestock fair. The festivities concluded with a major free concert by Noemi at Piazzale Belvedere.

The 2025 edition of the festivities in honor of Maria SS. dell'Olmitello took place in Deliceto, in the Monti Dauni, from September 21 to 23, confirming the strength of a tradition deeply rooted in the Capitanata community.

The highlight was Monday, September 22nd, with the Historical Cavalcade: departing from the Monumental Fountain, a procession of knights, ladies, farmers, and townspeople in period costumes marched to Piazzale Belvedere, followed in the afternoon by the solemn procession from the Mother Church. The evenings offered free musical performances at Piazzale Belvedere, with the comedy duo Arteteca and, as a grand finale, a concert by the singer Noemi on September 23rd. Accompanying the days of celebration was the customary agricultural and livestock fair, a symbol of the village's rural soul.
