Notte azzurra

🔵 **THE BLUE NIGHT** 🩵

Because of the deep devotion of the faithful and local residents connected to the Shrine of the Infant Jesus, and thanks to the extraordinary influx of tourists in recent years, the *Custodi della Roccia* Association is organizing a celebration that will embrace the entire historic center.

## **EVENING PROGRAM — SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6**

The festivities will begin with the cultural association **“La Durlindana”**, whose parade will travel along the town’s main street.

At Largo Capreoli, a musician will perform to welcome everyone and accompany the start of the celebrations before joining the procession as it moves toward the Church of the Infant Jesus.

In front of the Shrine, its Neoclassical façade will come to life through a spectacular **video mapping show**, featuring lights, images, and evocative scenes dedicated to the history of the Infant Jesus and His first miracle.

At the end of the projection, the festivities will continue throughout the historic center. Along the route, street performers will be stationed at various points to bring the alleyways and small squares to life, all the way to Villetta Scarano, where one final street performer will bring the evening to a close.

Largo Ciura will host craft markets, while food stalls will be set up along the entire route for an unforgettable evening. 🩵
