Two days of festivities, Saturday May 26 and Sunday May 27 dedicated to the Madonna of Ceri and the gourmet festival, the 10th Sagra del Buongustaio.
It starts on Saturday at 4 pm with the opening of the "Mostra di Foto Ceri c'era e c'è", a photography exhibition featuring the history of this town, then on to an amateur marathon and entertaining "briscola" card game tournament.
Then, at 10 pm, following a live cabaret, it’s everyone off to bed because Sunday is just as filled with events, starting at 10 am with the stirring music of the local band, the Banda Caerite, and the procession dedicated to the Madonna, capped off at 11:30 pm with the closing toast offered by the Associazione Ducato di Ceri.
