Tindari is mostly known for being the home of one of the most famous 'Black Madonnas' of Europe, the Madonna di Tindari. Although pilgrims attend the shrine where it is housed throughout the year, the annual festival takes place on the eighth of September, when masses are held every hour from early morning to midnight, and the Madonna herself is taken out for a procession in the evening.
