Organized by the local Pro Loco in Piazza della Libertà, this festival lights the traditional canalina braziers in a town otherwise known for the Abbazia di San Liberatore a Maiella, a Benedictine abbey set among the woods along the Alento river, and nearby rock-cut hermit tombs carved into the cliffside.
