Among the many popular traditions, particularly lively is that of May 3, which, going back to the pagan tradition of spring rites, is celebrated with a rural pilgrimage that starts from the Sanctuary of Piazza Vecchia and is completed with a cheerful picnic in the Address district. Finally in June there is the manifestation of “Courtyards and Flowered Balconies”. The historic center lights up with lights and colors: a competition rewards the best decorated balconies and courtyards; art, crafts and antiques exhibitions are set up in the buildings of the ancient city; Sicilian floats parade through the city streets and, in the evening, in the most characteristic corners of the historic center you can attend folkloric and musical performances.
