Edition 2025 — The Bonfires

In 2025, the Bonfires of Saint George once again illuminated Mirabello Sannitico on the evenings of April 16th and 22nd. The ritual bonfires, lit by families and neighbourhoods shortly after sunset, brought the community together around the fire, following an ancient tradition linked to the town's protection.

In 2025, the fires of Le Laure were lit as every year on the evenings of April 16th and 22nd in Mirabello Sannitico. Along the streets of the historic centre and in the countryside, families and groups from the town fuelled the bonfires in honour of Saint George, sharing fire-cooked meats, local wine, and stories passed down through generations. A community rite that preceded, as tradition dictates, the patron saint's feast on April 23rd.

Programme

The 2025 edition followed the traditional pattern: lighting of Le Laure on April 16th and 22nd, shortly after sunset, with conviviality around the fires. A detailed hourly program is not documented online.
