The Historical Parade of Saint Nicholas is not only a religious celebration but also a moment of identity and unity for the people of Bari. It’s an occasion to honor the memory of Saint Nicholas, who is a symbol of protection, charity, and solidariety.

The parade draws attention to Bari’s centuries-old history and its rich cultural and religious tradition, rooted in antiquity. Each year, the city rediscovers itself through this event, which, more than any other, reflects the people of Bari’s deep love for their Saint and their heritage.
