Local festivals of Casasimarro
The patronal festivities of San Bartolomé are Casasimarro's main celebration. Their central date is 24 August, with events held over several days in late August.
The City Council archive allows us to identify common traditions without confusing them with the annual programme. In documented editions, the proclamation and presentation of the queen and ladies, the parade of floats, the water festival and the day of the peñas are celebrated. The events dedicated to the patron include his transfer, the inauguration of the festivities, fireworks, mascletá and the ascent of San Bartolomé to his hermitage. These events bring together clubs, the Celebrations Commission, authorities, participants in the parade and neighbors in the streets of the municipality, the church and the hermitage of San Bartolomé.
