Good Friday

The Procession of the Mysteries

The island's most heartfelt festival. On Good Friday the Confraternita dei Turchini, founded in 1629, carries the “Misteri” in procession: floats with sacred scenes built every year by the islanders and carried on their shoulders through the streets. The day before, on Maundy Thursday, the Arciconfraternita dei Bianchi leads the Procession of the Apostles.

San Michele Arcangelo, the patron saint

Saint Michael the Archangel, to whom the Abbey at Terra Murata is dedicated, is celebrated twice a year: on 8 May and 29 September. For centuries he has been the saint Procida's sailors entrust themselves to.

Late July – early August

The Sagra del Mare

The summer festival, from late July to early August: eleven days of sea games (the greasy pole, tug of war, swimming and tub races), concerts and fireworks in different parts of the island. In 2026 it reached its 76th edition.

Tips

  • The dates of the Film Festival and the Sagra del Mare change every year: check the official websites before you travel.
  • On festival days ferries and accommodation fill up: book early.
  • On Good Friday the streets of the centre are taken up by the procession: it is best to get around on foot or by e-bike.
