Parabita celebrates the Day of National Unity and the Armed Forces on 4 November 2026 with a public ceremony that brings together the historic centre and the schools. The gathering is at 9:30 in Via Luigi Ferrari, in front of the Town Hall, for the laying of a laurel cushion at the plaque commemorating the sons of Parabita who fell for freedom. From here the procession reaches the Chiesa Matrice San Giovanni Battista, where Holy Mass is held at 10:00. At 10:45 it sets off again along Via Padre Serafino, Via Coltura and Largo 23 Giugno to Parco Aldo Moro, where the Monument to the Fallen is located. In the park, the laying of the laurel wreath takes place, along with the reading of the Bollettino della Vittoria and the names of the Fallen of all wars, with messages from the schoolchildren, the heads of the I.C. di Parabita and the I.I.S.S. "E. Giannelli", and the Mayor. The event is promoted by the Comune di Parabita and is open to all citizens.
