Fête de Grosseto-Prugna

The Saint-Césaire Patron Saint Festival

The Grosseto-Prugna Festival is the village's patronal celebration, dedicated to Saint Césaire, whose religious feast traditionally falls on August 18th. Each year, the municipality of Grosseto-Prugna-Porticcio organizes three days of festivities around this date, in the heart of the village of Grosseto-Prugna.

A village in Corse-du-Sud between mountain and sea

Grosseto-Prugna is located in the Pieve de l'Ornano, in Corse-du-Sud, and includes the historic village of Grosseto and the seaside resort of Porticcio. The Saint-Césaire parish church, located in the heart of the village, is the rallying point for the patron saint festival.

Three days of celebration in the village

The traditional program generally spans three days, from Sunday to Tuesday around August 18th. The festivities combine a night market of local artisans and producers, children's games on the fountain square, a mass and a procession in honor of Saint-Césaire, a convivial meal featuring spit-roasted veal with musical entertainment, and a large pétanque competition at the stadium.

A living tradition

Saint-Césaire is a significant event in communal life, bringing together all generations around Corsican traditions and values of sharing. The municipality, led by Mayor Paul Bozzi, welcomes residents and visitors who come to participate in this popular celebration each year.
