Patronal festivities in honour of the Virgen de la Estrella, with a procession and popular festivities. They are held between 13 and 18 September. Every May a pilgrimage is also held that recalls the transfer of the image from the old hermitage, on the banks of the Júcar river, to the new hermitage built in the 1940s and 1950s, when the construction of the Alarcón reservoir forced the abandonment of the original site, south of the municipality; during the pilgrimage the image is brought down from the new hermitage to that original site.
