FESTIVITIES, CELEBRATIONS AND CULTURAL EVENTS
“U Ballu di Diavuli” On the occasion of Holy Week, numerous events are organized which culminate with the Devils’ Ball on Easter day. This is one of the most characteristic representations of Easter in Sicily, famous throughout the world.
On April 23rd the patron saint of Prizzi is celebrated with the patronal feast of San Giorgio Martire, which culminates with the procession that accompanies the simulacrum of San Giorgio martyr through the streets of the village. The traditional San Giorgio Fair takes place on the occasion, the first of the three annual animal fairs.
The Feast of St. Joseph has great traditional and religious importance, with very ancient origins. The Tables of Saint Joseph are prepared which look like real altars, in which the figure of the Saint dominates in the centre.
Living Nativity Scene The event begins on Christmas night. On the day of the Epiphany, after the Eucharistic celebration, a procession of faithful follows the Three Kings who, on horseback, enter the Nativity Scene, to the sound of bagpipes.
