Celle di San Vito hosts August festivals drawing tourists and returning emigrants

During August, the small Puglian town of Celle di San Vito welcomes families from across Italy and abroad, especially Canada and the United States, who return to spend their holidays there. The centerpiece is the Festa del Vicino on the evening of 10 August, when residents prepare meals for neighbours and share a communal dinner in every piazza.

The programme also includes an 8 August pilgrimage called the “scampagnata di San Vito” organised by Edison, a children’s day with inflatable attractions on 11 August, a Quiz Music‑Show hosted by Giuseppe Gaeta on 12 August at 21:00, and the patron‑saint celebrations for San Vincenzo Ferreri on 13 August featuring a band, majorettes and a solemn procession. That evening Gianni Ciardo performed as part of his 50‑year career tour, and on 14 August singer‑songwriter Valentino Aquilano gave a concert.
