Image of Foios, not of the place itself.

Patron saint festivities of Foios in honour of the Virgin of the Patrocinio, instituted in 1867 in memory of the rogations made that year in the face of the flooding of the Carraixet ravine and the Real Acequia de Moncada irrigation canal. They are held on the second weekend of November and begin with the Diana, an early-morning gathering in which musicians and residents sing the hymn to the Virgin before having chocolate with ensaimadas. The programme also includes the climb to the bell tower, the calderas, with the distribution of traditional food to the town throughout the morning, and the procession in honour of the patron saint, after which the band plays in the church.
