The Festa Major of Santa Perpètua de Mogoda is celebrated in early September, with around fifty activities organised together with some twenty cultural and sports associations from the municipality. Its traditional elements include the village's giants, el Bernat and la Perpètua, first presented in 1988, who represent two Catalan bourgeois of the early 20th century even though their names evoke a 12th-century knight and the local patron saint; they dance their own dance, El Casament, created in 1995. They are accompanied by the small giantess Santiga, christened during the 1998 Festa Major, and the small giant Pipa, built in 2001 by members of the colla de geganters.
