Upcoming events in and around Castelbuono, Sicily.
Sant’Anna Festival 2026
Sant’Anna / Saint Anne (the mother of the Virgin Mary) is the patron saint of Castelbuono. Every year a festival is held in her honour. This is the most important event in the town’s diary. The focal date is 26th July, but it’s actually at least a week’s worth of celebrations, processions, music, food, fireworks over the castle and religious masses. The town is packed with people - both locals and visitors alike - and everyone is involved.
