Edition 2025 — Warm Bread Festival

The 2025 edition of the Warm Bread Festival took place in early August in Monforte San Giorgio, as part of the festivities for Saint George the Martyr. Local women prepared traditional 'pane cunzato', offered for tasting along the streets of the historic center alongside local wine and accompanied by Sicilian music. The patronal feast featured the procession of the Saint's statue through the village streets on the first Sunday of the month.

In the summer of 2025, the Warm Bread Festival returned to Monforte San Giorgio (ME) in early August, upholding the tradition linked to the feast of Saint George the Martyr. Local women baked pane cunzato seasoned in the Sicilian style, offered for tasting in the historic center alongside local wine.

The evenings were enlivened by live Sicilian music, while on the first Sunday of the month, the patronal feast reached its most solemn moment with the procession of the statue of Saint George through the town streets, accompanied by local brotherhoods and a marching band.
