2025 Edition

On June 24 and 25, 2025, the San Giovanni Festival renewed its appointment with one of Salento's oldest traditions on the Serra di Giuggianello, 120 meters high among olive groves and Mediterranean scrub. As per the custom maintained since 1990 by the Centro di Cultura Sociale e di Ricerche, the mass celebrated on the square in front of the grotto was followed by the traditional distribution of cheese and wine. The evenings featured live music, dancing, and gastronomic stalls with typical Salento flavors, highlighting oven-baked lamb with potatoes.
