San Rocco Patronal Festival

The 2025 edition of the San Rocco Patronal Festival in Noci was held from Saturday, September 6th to Monday, September 8th, 2025. As every year, the religious calendar opened on August 16th with the saint's liturgical feast, continuing with the preparation novena until the eve of the festivities.

During the three main days, the Noci community experienced the most intense moments of devotion: the solemn Pontifical Mass, the procession of the statue of San Rocco through the city streets, and the participation of the faithful, authorities, and brass bands. On the civil side, illuminations decorated the historic center, while brass band concerts and square performances animated the evenings. To conclude, the traditional fireworks illuminated the sky over Noci, confirming the festival as one of the most heartfelt events in the Bari hinterland.

The festival was spread over three days (September 6-8, 2025) with a religious and civil program: Pontifical Mass and procession of the saint, grand brass band concerts in the bandstand, performances in Piazza Plebiscito, artistic illuminations in the historic center, and evening fireworks.
