The patron saint festivities of San Antonio de Benagéber, dedicated to the Assumption, the Santos de la Piedra and Saint Roch, include the celebrations in honour of the latter, held in the second and third weeks of August: they begin with bullfighting events, joined by children's entertainment, exhibitions and concerts. On 16 August a mass is held followed by a procession through the historic centre in which volunteer residents carry the image of Saint Roch together with his characteristic dog. The municipality also has Saint Isidore the Farmer as a patron saint, whose festivity is celebrated on 15 May with a procession from the church.
