U Muzzuni
Alcara li Fusi
Organised by Pro Loco di Alcara li Fusi
On June 24, Alcara li Fusi celebrates 'U Muzzuni', the oldest popular festival in Sicily, in honor of Saint John the Baptist. Organized by the Pro Loco of Alcara li Fusi, the event preserves pagan elements linked to the summer solstice and the cult of the goddess Demeter. At sunset, women set up small altars at street corners decorated with hand-woven rugs, where 'u muzzuni' is displayed: a neckless jug adorned with fabric, gold jewelry, wheat and barley ears, lavender, and carnations. During the evening, folk songs (chianote and ruggere) are sung, and the 'comparatico' ritual takes place, which seals bonds of friendship through a traditional song and the exchange of confetti.
Time: 11:59 PM Date: June 24, 2027 Location: Alcara li Fusi (ME) The festival takes place at sunset along the streets of the town. Organized by the Pro Loco of Alcara li Fusi.
