Feast of St. Michael the Archangel

Enjoy a special evening discovering one of the most charming traditions on the island of Ischia: the Festival of San Michele a Mare, which brings the picturesque seaside village of Sant’Angelo, in the municipality of Serrara Fontana, to life every year.

Sant’Angelo is one of the island’s most picturesque spots, an ancient fishing village overlooking the sea, with its colorful little houses, narrow pedestrian streets, and the famous little square that opens onto an enchanting view. It’s a place where time seems to pass more slowly, capable of winning over anyone with its authentic, Mediterranean atmosphere.

The festival is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel, the village’s patron saint, and is one of the events most cherished by the local community. The celebrations blend faith, tradition, and entertainment, transforming Sant’Angelo into an open-air stage where the sea becomes an integral part of the festivities.

The Excursion: Sant’Angelo and the Fireworks Display

The experience begins with a boat departure from the main ports on the island of Ischia: Ischia Porto, Casamicciola, Lacco Ameno, and Forio.

During the boat ride, you’ll reach Sant’Angelo, where you’ll have about 2 hours to explore the town, immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere, stroll through the village’s narrow streets, discover the little square by the sea, and enjoy an evening filled with local traditions, colors, and flavors.

At the end of the stop, the boat will set sail again to watch the fireworks display from the sea—one of the most exciting moments of the evening. The fireworks will light up the sky above Sant’Angelo, reflecting off the sea and creating a truly breathtaking scene.

A unique opportunity to experience the festival from a privileged vantage point, away from the crowds and immersed in the magic of the Ischia sea.

An experience not to be missed for anyone who wants to discover the island’s traditions, be enchanted by the beauty of Sant’Angelo, and end the evening with an unforgettable show.
