La Torre de les Maçanes's patronal festivities, from the 5th to the 9th of May, honor San Gregorio Ostiense, venerated since he freed the village from a locust plague in 1658; its most characteristic rite is the Pa Beneït, with loaves weighing up to eight kilos carried on the head by the clavariesas (festival stewardesses).
