Given the success it was then transferred to Agrigento. The first edition of the "Almond Festival in Sicily" takes place in Agrigento on February 14, 1937: to enhance the cultural, economic and archaeological value of the province and of Sicily as a whole. THE ALMOND BLOSSOM FESTIVAL La Sagra continuò fino al 1940, anno in cui dovette interrompersi a causa della seconda guerra mondiale. Nel 1948 la festa si svolse regolarmente registrando la quinta edizione: raduni automobilistici, tornei di pallacanestro, competizioni ciclistiche e podistiche, vetrine addobbate a tema, mini festival della canzone, l'elezione di miss primavera, ed anche sfilate di carretti siciliani e l'esibizione di gruppi folkloristici nello scenario eccezionale della Valle dei Templi. FESTIVAL INTERNAZIONALE DEL FOLKLORE Thanks to Enzo Lauretta, the Festival extends its gaze beyond Sicily by launching the first edition of the International Folklore Festival . It was inaugurated in 1956, in front of the Temple of Concordia with the rite of lighting the Tripod of Friendship, that is the Olympic torch lit on the Parthenon by the mayor of Athens.The rite will be respected every year and will mark the beginning of the Festival. From the early beginnings to the current folkloric-musical peculiarities, the Almond Blossom Festival and its Festival represent a cultural event of great importance, champion of respect for ethnic and cultural differences.
