Since 1937, every August Bank Holiday (Italian Ferragosto) it takes place the Sea Palio in Porto Santo Stefano.
It is a regatta which puts into competition 4 boats which represent the four town districts: Fortezza, Pilarella, Croce and Valle.
The sea, the promontory’s colours, the hard life of the fishermen and sailors, the hopes of those who wait for them by the shore, are well represented by the fatigue of the four crews and the choral participation of the districts’ inhabitants.
