Edition 2025 — Santu Patri Alcamo

In 2025, the Santu Patri festival in Alcamo fell on the second Sunday after Easter, at the beginning of May. The procession of Saint Francis of Paola took place, according to local reports, in the rain, but the community did not give up on accompanying the patron saint along the streets of the historic center, amidst the market stalls and lights of the parish district.

The 2025 edition of the Saint Francis of Paola festival in Alcamo was celebrated on the second Sunday after Easter, at the beginning of May. Despite the bad weather — local reports recall a procession held in the rain — the faithful followed the statue of the "Santu Patri" along the streets of the historic center, confirming the strength of a devotion that resists all difficulties.

In 2025, the Saint Francis of Paola Parish also organized the festivities, with the traditional market stalls and festive lights enlivening the parish district of Alcamo. The festival confirmed its role as an identity-defining appointment for the town near Trapani.
