The Feria y Fiesta del Verdeo is usually celebrated over several days in the first week of September at the municipal fairground. It marks the table-olive harvest and brings together marquees, fairground rides, music and community gatherings, with the participation of the Town Council, local organisations and the olive-growing sector.

During Holy Week, brotherhoods and confraternities process through churches, squares and central streets, accompanied by bands and musical associations with deep local roots. The cycle ends on Easter Sunday when the risen Christ leaves the San Antonio chapel, followed by mass in Santa María Magdalena and the return procession.
