Traditions and Religious

Festivals and fairs make up the most consistent part of Sardinia’s tradition. The festival is a moment of collective socializing, of catharsis, of recreation. It marks community time, separating it from work time.

From January to October, the celebrations in every village and city reoccur in the same period: in January you can admire the bonfires of Sant’Antonio Abate in nearly 50% of the villages, in February there is Carnival, in March or April the rites of the Holy Week, in May the Monuments Open in Sardinia, there is the Festival of Sant'Efisio at Cagliari and the Cavalcata Sarda (horse riding) at Sassari, in June the rite of Corpus Domini a bit everywhere, in July S'Ardia (horse race) at Sedilo, in August the Festa dell’Assunta (Assumption) with processions at sea in many coast towns, the Candelieri (candlestick) procession at Sassari, the fest of Sant’Ignazio at Laconi and the Festa del Redentore (Saviour) at Nuoro, in September the Corsa degli Scalzi (barefoot walk) at Cabras and Marriage Selargino (traditional wedding ceremony) at Selargius, in October the Sagra (fest) di San Francesco at Lula, in October, November and December Autunno (fall) in Barbagia and Cortes Apertas (open courtyards) in about 20 towns in the Nuoro province, the heart of Sardinia.
