The patron saint festivities of Alfafara are held from 5 to 9 August in honour of the Divino Salvador (Divine Saviour), the Divina Aurora and Saint Roch. On the 6th, dedicated to the Divino Salvador, there is a procession with the Sociedad Instructiva Musical, a solemn mass, a mascletà and a night-time procession, with the anthem composed by José Mª Vicedo Sempere and premiered on 6 August 1942. On the 7th the Divina Aurora is honoured with mass, a procession and a fireworks display, along with the children's Roquero procession. On the 8th, Saint Roch's day, it is celebrated with a traca (string of firecrackers) and a procession with goigs (devotional songs) sung a cappella. The festivities end on the 9th with a community farewell dinner.
