Edition 2025 — U Ballu di Diavuli

The 2025 edition of "U Ballu di Diavuli" took place on Sunday, April 20, Easter Sunday, in Prizzi. An intense day marked by precise timings: from the village awakening at 6:00 AM to the defeat of the devils at midnight, along Corso Umberto I and in the squares of the historic center, with the traditional fusion of the sacred and the profane before thousands of spectators.

The 2025 edition was held on Sunday, April 20, and followed the usual program with precise timings. The day began at 6:00 AM with the "Awakening with the Devils", followed at 6:15 AM and 6:30 AM by the "piglianu a paci" ritual at the churches of Sant'Anna and the Crocifisso.

At 10:30 AM, the "Diavulicchi" gathered in Piazza IV Novembre, and at 11:00 AM, they made their descent ("a trasuta d'i Diavulicchi") onto Corso Umberto I. In the afternoon, from 3:30 PM, the "u' ballu d'i diavuli" began, with the first and second "'ncontru" at Spiazzo Barone at 5:00 PM and 5:15 PM. In the evening, between 10:30 PM and 11:30 PM, the final dance and the last "'ncontru" took place at Spiazzo dei Comizi, leading to the final defeat of the Devils by the Angels in Piazza Sant'Anna at 11:45 PM.
