Feasts and festivals in Molise

From Campobasso to Isernia, Molise's festivals keep alive rituals that have vanished elsewhere: the ox-cart carresi of the lower Molise villages in spring, the Misteri of Campobasso on Corpus Christi, and the 'Ndocciata of Agnone on Christmas Eve.

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.
