Patron Saint Festival of San Sebastiano

The feast in honour of the patron saint San Sebastiano is the most important moment in the religious and civic life of Girasole. The celebration includes a solemn mass, a procession carrying the statue of the saint through the village streets and moments of conviviality with traditional Sardinian music. Falling in the depths of winter, the event has an authentic flavour, far from the dynamics of summer tourism: it is one of the occasions in which the local community most fully recognises itself.

Wine and Local Products Festival

Coinciding with the autumn grape harvest, Girasole celebrates its food and wine produce with a festival involving local producers, wineries and enthusiasts. Cannonau and Ogliastrian white wines are tasted alongside cheeses, cured meats and traditional bread. The event is accompanied by Sardinian folk music and educational workshops on traditional viticulture, with the opportunity to take an active part in the grape picking at some of the local farms.
