Edition 2025 — San Cono Festival

In 2025, the San Cono Festival was celebrated with the eve on Saturday, May 10, and the main festival on Sunday, May 11, followed by the Octave on Sunday, May 18. As per tradition, the Saint's statue was carried on shoulders through the town streets in the characteristic bearers' run, amidst pilgrims arriving on foot, brass bands, illuminations, and fireworks.

2025 Edition

The 2025 San Cono Festival confirmed the secular rite of the Calatino village: the procession of the statue, the evening and night run of the vara through every street of the town, and the arrival of the faithful on foot from neighboring towns, some after over twenty-five kilometers of votive walking.

The main day, Sunday, May 11, 2025, featured the Solemn Holy Mass and, in the afternoon, the exit of the 'vara', accompanied by the «Viva Diu e Santu Conu» chorus, the brass band, illuminations, and fireworks. The festival was then repeated with the Octave on Sunday, May 18, confirming a tradition that is alive and deeply identity-defining for San Cono.
