The feast of Saints Crispin and Crispinian is celebrated in Illueca on 25 October in honour of the patrons of shoemakers, a trade that has been the town's main economic activity since the 1940s. The saint is carried in procession from one of the local shoe factories, and an offering made of shoes is presented to him, recalling the link between the shoe industry and the life of the town.
