Edition 2025 — Saint Felix the Martyr

In 2025, Poggio Bustone honored Saint Felix the Martyr on the first Sunday of September, following a custom repeated for generations in the village of the Rieti Holy Valley. The Saint's relics, kept under the high altar of the parish church of Saint John the Baptist, were at the center of the celebrations, accompanied by the procession through the alleys of the historic center and the shared festivities that close the village's summer season.

The 2025 edition

The patronal feast of Saint Felix the Martyr also marked the first weekend of September 2025 in Poggio Bustone, in the Province of Rieti. As per tradition, the community gathered around the parish church of Saint John the Baptist for liturgical celebrations and the veneration of the relics, before the procession along the uphill streets of the village.

A detailed program of the 2025 edition is not available online, as it took place primarily as a village festival, with the participation of residents and those returning to Poggio Bustone during the late summer days. In the same month, the village hosted other popular events, such as the Porchetta Festival, confirming September as the liveliest period of the year for the Rieti community.
