The highlight of the summer in Caltagirone, is the Luminaria Festival, held July 24-25, celebrating the city’s patron saint St.James and on the eve of August 14-15, celebrating SS. Maria del Ponte. The main landmark in town is the impressive Scala di Santa Maria del Monte, an exceptional staircase of 142 steps, connecting the old city at the top to the new at the bottom - the risers of each step are uniquely painted majolica tiles, and no two have the same design – rightly a Unesco World Heritage site.
During the celebrations, the steps are illuminated with thousands of small colourful oil lamps to create a true work of Art! A unique evocative experience!

"U fistìnu", A huge float known as the “Carro” carrying the statue of the patron Saint paraded through the town, Torchlight processions, fireworks, music bands and performances turn Palermo into an open air theater for one week.

This popular celebration features many pagan rituals dating back to the worship of the goddess of earth and fertility, Demeter; also linked to the celebration of the summer solstice. On the walls, balconies and on the streets are spread out the colorful “pizzare”: typical carpets weaved with the old pedal loom using fabri cut outs.
