Edition 2025 — San Rocco

In 2025, the San Rocco Festival in Palo del Colle was celebrated around August 16th, with two major evenings on August 17th and 18th in Piazza Dante. Alongside the religious rites in honor of Saint Roch and the Holy Physicians, the festival featured illuminations, markets, brass band concerts, and musical and comedy shows with national guests, all free of charge, organized by the Confraternity of San Rocco.

San Rocco Festival 2025

The 2025 edition of the San Rocco Festival in Palo del Colle confirmed the vitality of a centuries-old tradition. On August 16th, the saint's day, morning masses, the opening of the festivities, and the solemn procession with the brass band took place, while illuminations and craft and food markets enlivened the historic center.

The two final evenings were held in Piazza Dante, both starting at 8:00 PM with free admission. On August 17th, hosted by Daniele Colacicco, a historic speaker for Radio Norba, the event featured comedian and impressionist Leonardo Fiaschi accompanied by the All Music Band, followed by a DJ set by Domenico Aceto. On August 18th, presented by Kevin Dellino, the stage welcomed young artist Anthony Ricci, winner of Sanremo JukeBox 2025, and singer Emanuela Villa, daughter of Claudio Villa, with a final DJ set by Michele Di Ciaula. The festival was completed by fireworks and hot air balloon launches.
