If you’re planning to spend a holiday camping in Campania in the month of May, you should know that numerous religious festivals are held in Marina di Camerota, most of them in honour of the Virgin Mary. “Our Lady of Pompeii” is celebrated on 8 May, the Annunciation, a public and religious festival, takes place each year on 18 May and 8 September, and “Our Lady of Mt Carmel” is celebrated on 16 July.
