Officially started with the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica on 24 December 2024, the Jubilee 2025 is the 27th ordinary universal jubilee in the history of the Church and the second jubilee celebrated by the current pontiff after the extraordinary one in 2015.
The entire jubilee period is characterized by a rich calendar of religious, cultural and social events. Aside from celebrations and rituals addressed to all the faithful, the Holy Year’s program includes several “jubilees” dedicated to different categories of people, identified according to specific professions or their role within the family, the Church and society. Each one includes moments of dialogue and spirituality, with a concluding mass celebrated by the pope.
The two days of 10-11 May are dedicated to all members of military, institutional, amateur, folk, village, sports, school and college bands, and all categories that trace back to the world of popular entertainment, together with their families. The celebrations will open on the afternoon of Saturday 10 May (from 2 to 5 p.m.) with a pilgrimage to the Holy Door, with the option of confession in the Jubilee churches. The culmination of the two-day jubilee event is the traditional Sunday mass presided over by the pontiff or his delegate. Entrance to St Peter’s Square is completely free on this occasion and does not require any type of ticket. In addition to the religious events, the Jubilee of Bands and Popular Entertainment also includes numerous band concerts in various Roman piazzas on Saturday afternoon.
The program may be subject to change.
