In 250 days Patron saint festival
24 June 2027
Thursday 24 June
On 24 June Sperlinga celebrates Saint John the Baptist; on 16 August, instead, it is the turn of the Lady of the Castles and the tortone festival.
The patron of Sperlinga is Saint John the Baptist, celebrated on 24 June in the church that bears his name.
The village's other date is 16 August: the Castellana of Sperlinga, together with those of the other Gallo-Italic villages, takes part in a historical parade in period costume through the streets, and a jury elects the Lady of the Gallo-Italic villages. On the same day comes the tortone festival — not a great cake, but a local sweet.
