San Rocco celebrations in Italy and abroad

Overview

In August 2026, celebrations for the feast of Saint Rocco, a 14th-century healer traditionally venerated against infectious diseases, spread across Europe and South America. In Italy, festivities included the “Fiore” ceremony in Jenne and the “U Ddirroccu” ritual in Calabria, alongside events in Tortona, Scilla, and Conversano featuring markets, musical performances, and maritime processions.

In Venice, the Scuola Grande Arciconfraternita di San Rocco organized traditional celebrations that combined religious ceremonies with the presentation of the San Rocco Prize 2026. The award was given to the Fondazione Città della Speranza for its work in solidarity and research. The event featured a procession from the Scuola Grande to the Church of San Rocco and a Mass led by Monsignor Giampaolo Crepaldi, attended by various civil and military authorities.

International observances included a pilgrimage mass and local fairs in Draškovec, Croatia, and significant religious veneration of São Roque in Brazil. These events align with the broader regional activities previously noted in towns such as Trebisacce, Montescaglioso, and Rossano.
