🎉 Patron saint festival

Feast of Saint Roch

📍 Castelmezzano · Potenza · Basilicata

On 18 and 19 August Castelmezzano celebrates Saint Roch, in a village of eight hundred people wedged among the spires of the Lucanian Dolomites.

The patron of Castelmezzano is Saint Roch, celebrated on 18 and 19 August.

The village calendar holds others: the feast of the Madonna dell'Ascensione, held on Ascension Sunday and named after the statue; the procession of 2 July, with the Madonna kept in the chapel of the Annunziata; and the Palm Sunday rites, which begin right there, with the blessing of the decorated olive branches and the procession towards the mother church.
