Villa Marchesa Village Festival (Feast of Saint Anthony of Padua)

Villa Marchesa Village Festival 2025 — 19th edition

From June 10 to 15, 2025, the village of Villa Marchesa in Sant'Egidio alla Vibrata (Teramo province) hosted the 19th edition of the village festival in honor of Saint Anthony of Padua. For six consecutive evenings, the stalls offered traditional Abruzzese food and wine specialties — from arrosticini to typical Val Vibrata dishes — accompanied by quality wine and beer.

Each evening was enlivened by live music of various genres, with dance orchestras, cover bands, and performances by local dance schools. On June 13th, the patron saint's day, Holy Mass and the procession with a marching band took place, followed by traditional fireworks. As per tradition, the proceeds of the event were donated by the Associazione Progetto Futuro Insieme O.D.V. to its social and charitable activities.
