Edition 2025 — Saint Sebastian Spring Festival

In 2025, Tortorici once again renewed its spring festival in honor of Saint Sebastian on the Sunday closest to May 9th. Between the concert, masses, and processions, the Nudi accompanied the Patron's Vara through the town streets, in a day of intense popular participation that confirmed the strong bond of the Nebrodi community with its Saint.

The 2025 edition of the spring festival of Saint Sebastian in Tortorici took place according to the usual tradition, with the Concert for Saint Sebastian at the Chiesa della Badia on Saturday afternoon and the solemnity on Sunday. After the morning masses and the Solemn Holy Mass at 11:00 AM, the statue of the Patron was carried in procession through the town streets, supported by the Nudi on the imposing Vara.

The day concluded, after the return to the Mother Church, with the evocative Farewell Procession along the main streets, amidst the great participation of faithful and devotees who also arrived from neighboring towns.
