Saint Joseph Festival (Patronal Feast)

Saint Joseph Festival 2025

In 2025, the Saint Joseph Festival in Spadafora took place over the weekend, culminating on Sunday, July 20. The market fair was inaugurated on the seafront and in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele III, while the religious program featured the vigil mass on Saturday evening and, on Sunday, the parade of the "Città di Spadafora" Marching Band, the solemn afternoon mass, and the grand procession of the statue, carried on the shoulders of the "White Shirts."

As every year, the most emotional moment was the blessing imparted by turning the statue towards the sea, followed by fireworks to close the evening and the final show at midnight. Local reports spoke of a "flood of people" and orderly management of traffic and security despite the huge turnout, confirming the strong bond of the Spadafora community with its patron saint.
