Edition 2025 — Saint Joseph Aci Castello

In 2025, the Saint Joseph Festival in Aci Castello was part of a special year for the community: after restoration work, the Church of Saint Joseph and the adjoining oratory were returned to the faithful in the spring of 2025. The traditional elements of the festival were confirmed, with the procession of the 18th-century statue through the village streets, the tasting of pasta with chickpeas, and the zeppola festival around the liturgical feast of March 19th.

The 2025 edition

The 2025 edition of the Saint Joseph Festival in Aci Castello took place during the traditional period in March, around the liturgical feast of March 19th. This year again, the village on the Cyclops Riviera experienced the solemn procession of the 18th-century papier-mâché statue, carried through the town streets on a float and on the shoulders of the faithful.

The festival confirmed the traditional tasting of pasta with chickpeas, the zeppola festival, and the Saint Joseph Fair along Via Savoia. 2025 also marked a symbolic moment for the community: the restoration and reopening of the Church of Saint Joseph and the parish oratory, which have returned to being the heart of the activities of the parish of San Mauro Abate.
