The Feast of Saint Sebastian the Martyr is held every year on January 20 and is a deeply felt event for the local community. Saint Sebastian, the patron saint, is honored with religious rites and traditional celebrations.
The Feast of Saint Sebastian begins with the celebration of Holy Mass in the parish church dedicated to San Sebastiano, where the service is conducted almost entirely in Sardinian, offering a rare and precious example of liturgy in the local language.
Faithful devotees travel from neighboring towns to take part in the event. After the religious ceremony, a procession winds through the streets of the village, during which the statue of the saint is carried on the shoulders of devoted worshippers, accompanied by chants and prayers.
The celebration is also marked by moments of togetherness and community spirit. The town's streets come to life with vibrant market stalls, offering local delicacies and traditional sweets.
It is common for families to gather for festive lunches and dinners, sharing typical Sardinian dishes. A distinctive highlight of the festival is the presence of folk groups and "cantadores", who entertain the crowd with traditional Sardinian music performances.
The Feast of Saint Sebastian is an opportunity to rediscover and honor local traditions, keeping the community’s cultural and religious heritage alive.
