Event Locations
The heart of the event unfolds along Corso Umberto, in the stretch between Piazza Piave (the town entrance when coming from Catania) and Piazza Spedalieri (in the town center).
Both squares and the entire Corso Umberto are filled with stands, bars, restaurants, gelaterie, and shops of all kinds.
Parking and Shuttles
TWO free municipal PARKING AREAS have been set up in the outskirts of the town. The municipality of Bronte ADVISES AGAINST arriving via the main road (Ss 284) for those coming from Catania, as it is prone to traffic jams.
Here are the parking areas and the municipality's suggestions for reaching them:
- Zona Artigianale (MAP)
- With shuttle bus service to the center (Saturday and Sunday only)
- Very large, therefore also suitable for CAMPER VANS
- We recommend arriving from RANDAZZO to avoid the long car queues on the road coming from Catania (CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE ROUTE RECOMMENDED BY THE MUNICIPALITY)
- Piazza Padre V. Saitta (MAP)
- No shuttle service (about a 15-minute walk)
- We recommend passing through SCHETTINO to avoid the long car queues on the road coming from Catania (CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE ROUTE RECOMMENDED BY THE MUNICIPALITY)
- No shuttle service (about a 15-minute walk)
Complete Program
The 6 days will be full of music, shows, parades, award ceremonies, and other activities, which you can find in the PDF program downloadable at THIS LINK.
Cost / Entrance Fee
There is NO entrance fee, as the Sagra takes place freely throughout the town streets.
You only pay for what you consume, paying directly at the stands, bars, restaurants, etc., where you decide to eat.
Some stands also offer free samples, but obviously in limited quantities.
Buses / Coaches / Trains from Catania, Messina, Palermo, Airport, etc.
I am sorry, but we do not provide this type of information.
We recommend checking the transport agencies' websites directly.
Additionally, there are many private agencies that organize coach tours, which can be found by searching on Google or social media.
