Table Grape and Local Products Festival

The 22nd edition of the Licodia Eubea Grape Festival was held from August 30 to September 7, 2025, confirming its status as one of the most cherished events in the Calatino area. For nine days, the historic center hosted tastings of table grapes and local products, food stalls, karaoke, sports activities, exhibitions, and conferences.

Highlights of the edition included: the regional singing competition "Voce in capitolo" in Piazza Garibaldi, the ecological day and the 8th Spinning Trophy at Lake Dirillo, the 1st Mountain Bike Trophy in the Bosco di Vaito, and the exhibition "Sotto il grappolo: storie, colori e profumi d'uva" at the municipal library. There was no shortage of flag-wavers from Piazza Armerina, the Bersaglieri fanfare, equestrian performances, and the Fiat 500 Club Italia rally.

The closing weekend featured a concert by singer-songwriter Mario Venuti on Saturday, September 6, in Piazza Garibaldi, alongside comedian Claudio Casisa and the Open Group, while on Sunday, September 7, the Italia 90 official DJ set closed the festival with dancing in the square. The event, with free admission, was organized by the Municipality of Licodia Eubea with the support of the Regional Department of Agriculture.
