Festa del Grano

Raddusa · Sicilia, Italy · Sep 11 – 13 ✅ Verified 2026

30th edition of a harvest festival in a town nicknamed 'Città del Grano.' Real hand-harvesting with sickles and horse-drawn threshing recreate 1950s rural life, alongside a costumed parade with the Marchese di Raddusa's carriage, Sicilian carts, and mythological floats tied to the wheat cycle. Visits to the town's Museo del Grano, Altare di San Giuseppe, and old mill round out the program, with cuccia, pasta di San Giuseppe, and pane cunzatu as the culinary centerpiece.
