Days with a story are highlighted; on the others you still find the towns celebrating and the village of the day.

🎉 Festivals in November

Patron saint festival In 54 days 📍 Trieste

Feast of Saint Justus

📅 Every year, on 3 November

On 3 November Trieste celebrates Saint Justus. The hill above the city carries his name, and so do the cathedral and the castle that stand on it.

Patron saint festival In 58 days 📍 Terracina

Feast of Saint Caesarius

📅 Every year, on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday after 5 November

The patron's date would be 5 November, but the feast always moves to the following Saturday, Sunday and Monday, so that the Triduum does not fall over the commemoration of the dead.

Patron saint festival In 64 days 📍 Cremona

Feast of Saint Homobonus

📅 Every year, on 13 November

On 13 November Cremona celebrates Saint Homobonus, a cloth merchant made a saint. The same month fills the city for the Torrone Festival.

Festival 📍 Palermo

Festival di Morgana

📅 Every year in November

Puppeteers from around the world join Sicily's pupari every November at the figure-theatre festival run by the Antonio Pasqualino puppet museum. The 50th edition took place in November 2025.

Fiera dei Morti (All Souls' Fair)

📅 Every year between late October and early November

Catania's historic fair for the Day of the Dead returns each autumn: in 2025, from 31 October to 9 November, some 150 stalls at the Fontanarossa parking area with crafts, rides and traditional sweets.
