About Saint Cecilia Potenza
The festival of the Poggio Tre Galli neighbourhood
The Saint Cecilia Festival – Music and Sport is one of the most beloved events in the Poggio Tre Galli district, in Potenza. Organized by the Parish of Saint Cecilia, the event boasts over thirty years of history and has become a landmark for families in the neighbourhood and the entire capital of Basilicata.
Sport for all ages
The heart of the festival are the sports tournaments: five-a-side football, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, foosball, and card games, to which disciplines like street basketball and foot-tennis have been added over the years. A programme designed to involve children, teenagers, and adults, promoting healthy fun and togetherness.
Music and religious celebrations
Alongside sport, the festival offers musical evenings and entertainment that liven up the district, while the religious dimension culminates in the procession through the neighbourhood streets and the solemn Eucharistic celebration in honour of Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music.
A sign of community
As the parish priests recall, the festival aims to be "a reflection of meeting, friendship, solidarity, and inclusion": an occasion for the community of Poggio Tre Galli to come together, strengthening the bonds that make it vibrant.
