The patron saint festivities of Quinto are in honour of Santa Ana (26 July) and are held from 24 to 30 July. According to local tradition, the saint's intercession put an end to a locust plague that had ravaged the comarca for seven years; since then 26 July is a feast day and the Virgin is carried in procession. They begin with the chupinazo rocket and the parade of the town's nine cabezudos (big-head figures).
