Feasts and festivals in Basilicata

From Potenza to Matera, Basilicata's festivals follow the church year and the cycle of nature: the Maggio of Accettura around Pentecost, the Parade of the Turks in Potenza on 29 May for San Gerardo, and the Bruna in Matera on 2 July.

Here you'll find patron saint festivals, processions and food festivals month by month, with dates, programmes, history and tips for getting there and making the most of them.
