The patronal festivities of Penàguila are celebrated in honour of the Virgen del Patrocinio, which according to tradition arrived in the village on 15 May 1644 brought by captain Francisco Fenollar and has been the municipality's patroness since 1693. They begin on 19 August with the girà de la Virgen and continue during the so-called week of the huità, with cultural and recreational activities, open-air dances, a day devoted to preparing paella and the entrada de moros y cristianos, with performances through the streets of the village.
