Borbona. Feast of Santa Maria del Monte

Every year, on the fourth Sunday, on Borbona of June Our Lady, is celebrated with the Feast of Santa Maria del Monte.

The festivities begin a week earlier with a procession, accompanied by the band, which carries the statue from the shrine to the town where it will be on display for a week.

The procession is repeated a week later to return the statue to the shrine.

The sanctuary is located about 4 kilometers from the village and the procession ends with a cookout and a weekend of activities and fireworks.
