La Vall d'Uixó celebrates its patron saint festivities of Saint Vincent Ferrer in April, around the second Monday after Easter, declared a Fiesta de Interés Turístico Estatal (festival of national tourist interest) in 2003 and documented since at least 1775; they include bous al carrer (bulls running through the streets), religious events and an agricultural, commercial and vehicle fair that draws more than 115,000 visitors from across the Valencian Community every year. The programme opens on Easter Sunday with a mascletà and, over the following days, the vesprades de vaques in the Plaza dels Xorros, the singing of albadas and popular dinners of caldereta made with bull meat follow one another. In addition, in October, La Vall d'Uixó celebrates the festivities of the Sagrada Família and the Santíssim Crist, with a medieval market; both festivities are declared of national tourist interest.
