Faith and folklore mix in the rites of an antique and very much loved celebration by the Sorrento people. The celebrations in honour of Saint Anna, patron of the district of Marina Grande in Sorrento and protector of the pregnant women, this year coincide with the seventieth anniversary of the homonymous Parish.
Nights on the beach among music, games and tasting that will go with the usual religious rites, like the famous procession with the statue of Saint Anna along the city streets.
To close the event, like very year, a suggestive fireworks show on the sea.
