The Festa di Santa Vitalia in Villasor is one of the most deeply felt traditional and religious celebrations in the Campidano plain, organized by the Santa Vitalia Committee alongside the Parish of San Biagio and the Municipality of Villasor. The core of the festivities unfolds between the rural church dedicated to the Saint and the main parish church, blending devotion with community spirit. The sacred calendar culminates on Sunday with a solemn Mass and a grand procession through the village streets, accompanied by brotherhoods, launeddas players, the Villasor Marching Band, and groups in traditional Sardinian dress. Rituals continue over the following days with celebrations for 'Su lunisi de Santa Vida' and the feast of Saint Greca, concluding with 'Sa Torrada', the ceremony marking the statues' return to the parish church. Alongside the sacred dimension, the festival offers a vibrant entertainment lineup that draws visitors from all around, enlivening the evenings with musical performances, comedy acts, a funfair, and the traditional fireworks display.
