Local festivals in Mora
The Olive Festival is usually celebrated on the last weekend of April and honours the end of the harvest and the town's olive oil. Saturday features the opening speech and crowning of queens and attendants, as well as the climb to the Virgen de la Antigua hill; Sunday brings mass and the decorated cart and float parade through the historic centre. The organising committee, peñas, folk groups, farmers, residents and Town Council participate over several days.
Usual celebration of Santa Ana
The Santa Ana small fair is usually celebrated around 26 July in honour of Mora's patron. The church and nearby streets host religious events, music and neighbourhood gatherings over several days, with the participation of the parish, Town Council, families and local associations.
Other events: Cristo de la Veracruz fair
The main fair is usually held over several days in September in honour of Cristo de la Veracruz. Mass and the procession link the church with the traditional route through the streets, while the municipal band, peñas and festival venues sustain community gatherings marking the end of summer in Mora.
