We write when the town hall publishes next year’s edition. Nothing else.

On Saturday 14 November 2026, Piazza Vittorio Veneto in Gioiosa Ionica hosts World Diabetes Day, an afternoon of information and awareness-raising. From 16:30, free blood glucose testing is available and you can talk with dietitians, psychologists and nurses about diabetes and proper nutrition. The programme continues at 17:00 with a demonstration by the Ten Chi Jin Karate-Do school and at 17:30 with a charity walk through the village. In the square, low-glycemic-index biscuits and bread with oil offered by Forno Crosta and the Le Terre di Gea farm are available for tasting, with children's entertainment by Sonries. At 18:30 the façade of the Town Hall is lit up in blue and at 19:00 the awards ceremony for the drawing competition "Il cerchio azzurro" takes place. The initiative is organised by A.G.D. dei Due Mari (Associazione Giovani con Diabete) with the patronage of the Comune di Gioiosa Ionica and the collaboration of Pro Loco UNPLI.
