Edition 2025 — Saint George Calatabiano

In 2025, Calatabiano once again honored its patron saint, Saint George, on April 23rd, with the solemn procession of the wooden statue of the saint on horseback through the historic center. The Sangiorgiari brotherhood and the archpriest carried the statue on their shoulders from the Mother Church of Maria SS. Annunziata, with the usual stop in front of the town hall for the floral tribute. The evening concluded in a spirit of conviviality, with music and sausage.

Saint George Festival 2025

On April 23, 2025, Calatabiano renewed its ancient devotion to Saint George the Martyr, the town's patron since the Norman era. The procession of the exquisite wooden statue of the saint on horseback passed through the historic center, carried on the shoulders of the Sangiorgiari brotherhood and the archpriest, starting from the Mother Church of Maria Santissima Annunziata.

As is tradition, the procession stopped in front of the town hall for the mayor's traditional floral tribute. The day of celebration ended with convivial moments animated by music and the sausage feast, a genuine expression of the community spirit that characterizes this Calatabiano tradition.
