Edition 2025 — San Vito delle Corone

On August 8th, 2025, Celle di San Vito renewed the San Vito delle Corone Festival with a pilgrimage to the sanctuary, mass, and the procession of the statues of San Vito, San Modesto, and Santa Crescenza carried on flower-adorned carts. As every year, the event drew many emigrants from Celle back to the Monti Dauni village for the summer, blending devotion and conviviality.

The 2025 San Vito delle Corone Festival took place on August 8th in Celle di San Vito, in the heart of the Monti Dauni in the Province of Foggia. The day combined the spiritual dimension of the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of San Vito, with mass celebrated inside the restored place of worship, and the community aspect of the procession of the three saints' statues through the streets of the village.

The event was part of an intense summer calendar, which in the following days included the Neighbor's Festival (August 10th), the Emigrant's Festival with mass in the Franco-Provençal language (August 12th), and the celebrations for the patron saint San Vincenzo Ferreri (August 13th), confirming August 8th as one of the most attended events of the summer in Celle.
