Immaculate Conception Festival in Torre del Greco
On 8 December, Torre del Greco renews its Immaculate Conception tradition with religious celebrations and a procession through the town centre.
The Immaculate Conception Festival is one of Torre del Greco’s most deeply felt traditions. The celebration is connected with the town’s devotion and the vow renewed after the 1861 eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
The main programme takes place on 8 December, with religious celebrations at the Basilica of Santa Croce and a procession through the historic centre. Residents, worshippers and visitors come together in a particularly evocative atmosphere.
The celebration times, procession route and related events may change each year. Check the official programme before attending.
