Patron saint festival In 207 days

Saint Pancras and the May Tree, a twenty-metre pole climbed for its gifts

📅 Every year, on 11 and 12 May, with the ancient May Tree tradition

Castel Giorgio celebrates Saint Pancras on 11 and 12 May with the ancient May Tree tradition: a wooden pole about twenty metres tall, stripped of its bark, is raised on 11 May, and the next day people climb it to win the gifts placed at its top.
