Immaculate Conception Bonfire Procession – Vietri sul Mare

Where: Castelbuono, Sicily

When: October 18–19 & 24–26, 2025

Funghi Fest 2025 is a must-visit event for food lovers, families, and cultural explorers alike. Set across two festive weekends, the event is the perfect way to discover the soul of inland Sicily through taste, tradition, and community.

In Vietri sul Mare, the vigil for the Immaculate Conception is marked by a candlelit procession and large bonfires illuminating the streets.

Visitors can join locals as they walk through the historic centre, where wood structures are lit to symbolically burn away misfortune. Combined with Vietri’s colourful ceramics and sea views, it’s an evocative evening that feels far removed from summer crowds.
