On the day before the day of the Saint, which is 28th of September, the statue is unveiled and people gather to cheer it on the streets of San Michele, the province of Caltanissetta. On the actual day of the Saint, the events organized focus on liturgical issues. However, the Saturday and Sunday after the 29th bloom with different kinds of activities.

On Saturday there is a big procession through the streets. On Sunday first children launch the hot air ballons, next the colourful fireworks burst into the air! Moreover, the celebrations include different parades, one of which is featuring women walking barefoot!
