Cavalcade of San Giuseppe in Donnalucata

On the occasion of the celebrations in honor of San Giuseppe the cavalcade of San Giuseppe usually takes place in Donnalucata, a particular infiorata on horseback. In fact, there is a parade of horses that are richly harnessed with cloaks made by weaving flowers on a jute weft. On these mantles the Holy Family and the flight into Egypt are represented, often sacred symbols recur together with plots that recall the local tradition. The riders accompanying the harnessed horses are dressed in the traditional dress: black velvet trousers, vest of the same color, white shirt, black boots, the "burritta", typical headdress, a red neckerchief and a colored sash at the waist.
The Cavalcade of Donnalucata anticipates the historical one of Scicli.
