From 21 to 24 April Chieuti celebrates its patron Saint George the Martyr with the «carrese», the race of ox-drawn carts, the most eagerly awaited event of the town.

In honour of the patron Saint George the Martyr, whom the Church celebrates on 23 April, Chieuti renews its appointment with the «carrese», the race of ox-drawn carts, certainly the most eagerly awaited event for all the townspeople.

The celebrations last four days, from 21 to 24 April, and the 5-kilometre route of the race, also recounted in the documentary «Bukura», is full of surprises, suspense and overtakings; the municipality of 1,772 inhabitants in the province of Foggia also holds the Chiesa di San Giorgio, the Chiesa di Stella Maris and the Torre Fantine.
