May: Festivity of the “Tataratà”: In Casteltermini, where takes place a rich procession with knights and amazons with XVII century customs and an Arabic dance-battle.
July:
From the first to the second Sunday of July, Festivity of San Calogero in Agrigento: A very colorful festivity of the most popular saint of the city. Some prayers go up dangerously at the top of the saint wagon in order to kiss him, while the crowd offers bread to him. A demonstration of extraordinary mysticism.
Agust:
The evening, along the “Via Atenea”, restaurants, wine cellars and bars put out their small tables and serve delicatessens, and drinks to you. Some stores are open. Sometimes short musical shows are organized so the street gather a lot of people. The Mid-August eve (15th August), the beaches of the Agrigento shoreline are lighted up by spectacular bonfires made by young people who gather around them in order to pass all the night in joy.
