Edition 2025 — San Sebastiano Horse Trail

On August 10, 2025, the San Sebastiano Horse Trail in Mistretta, in the heart of the Nebrodi Park, was renewed. Setting off early in the morning from the town centre, pilgrims, riders, and cyclists covered approximately 25 km to Lake Urio Quattrocchi, where holy mass was celebrated at the saint's votive shrine. The day, dedicated to faith and nature, concluded with a return to the village, a blessing with the relics at the Church of San Sebastiano, and an evening of festivities.

The 2025 edition of the San Sebastiano Horse Trail took place on August 10th, confirming an established appointment for the community of Mistretta. Early in the morning, participants left the historic centre to reach Lake Urio Quattrocchi, travelling the approximately 25 km route on foot, horseback, or bicycle through the valley of the waterfalls and the Montepiano forest.

Upon reaching the lake's recreational area, pilgrims attended holy mass at the votive shrine dedicated to the patron saint, followed by a convivial moment blending faith and nature. In the late afternoon, the procession returned to the village, with a stop at the Church of San Sebastiano for a blessing with the relics and an evening of music in the centre of Mistretta.
