It has been marked in the municipality since time immemorial. This tradition has never ceased to be celebrated, and features the “mascarote”, a character dressed in old rags who taunts onlookers, becoming the most genuine figure of the carnival.

This event stands as a benchmark for alternative theatre in the province, a cultural gathering notable for its constant pursuit of innovation and avant-garde approaches in the performances offered to audiences.

 Held on 26 and 27 September. Legend has it that the people of Torredonjimeno turned to the physician saints, San Cosme and San Damián, to free them from a plague epidemic.

Once their prayers were answered, they were named patron saints of the town. These festivities are notable for their night-time open-air dances, attracting people from across the province.

Among the sporting events, the Torredonjimeno Classic Cycling Race stands out, held in April, unique in the whole of Andalusia, and counting towards the Spanish Cup.

On the first weekend of May, the May Crosses Competition is held in the streets of Torredonjimeno, decorated with typical Eucharistic and ornamental elements. These installations, created by local residents and various groups (associations, brotherhoods…), have great craft value and make these days ideal for strolling through the streets.

Holy Week in Torredonjimeno holds deep roots in the town. It boasts truly exceptional religious imagery, with carvings by Palma Burgos, Castillo Lastrucci and Amadeo Ruiz Olmos. Alongside the quality of the images and platforms, the artistic value of the chamber of the Virgen de los Dolores stands out, of Baroque origin and recently restored, in the church of Santa María. There are also many distinctive features and traditions surrounding Holy Week, such as the procession of the Virgen de los Dolores, which, on the afternoon of Friday of Sorrows and the night of Good Friday, revives the custom of “running” the Sorrowful Virgin at various points along the route, carried on the shoulders of her bearers. All of this has contributed to Holy Week in Torredonjimeno being declared, in 2007, a Festival of National Tourist Interest of Andalusia.

 Held on the second weekend of September, spanning both the city's streets and the Hermitage of the Virgen de Consolación, a Gothic and Baroque building located one kilometre from the town. It dates back to 1458, the year the Virgin appeared and Christian forces placed themselves under her protection in their fight against the Moors. Following their victory, she was named Patron Saint of the city. These festivities begin at the end of August with the transfer of the Virgin from the hermitage to the Church of Santa María.

Every year, at the end of summer, Torredonjimeno Castle hosts an
interesting gastronomic evening in support of charity, where guests can sample various dishes prepared by a team of chefs specially chosen for each edition. The night is thus filled with appealing dishes and other entertainment, adding extra value to the initiative.

Held on the first Sunday of May, considered one of the most enjoyable and well-attended pilgrimages in the province. On this day, practically the whole town gathers at the Cerro Miguelico, where the hermitage housing the patron saint stands. A Rocío-style Mass is held, and the patron saint is carried in procession around the hill. It has been declared of National Tourist Interest. During the pilgrimage of Santa Ana, townspeople climb up to see the patron saint and her child image, the Virgen Niña. Many set up stalls on the hill alongside family and friends to enjoy a few days of togetherness with the patron saint. Many people from outside the town also come to enjoy the pilgrimage atmosphere, the music, dancing and joy experienced during these days. As tradition dictates, many families cook kid goat for lunch on pilgrimage Sunday. 

 On 17 January, which coincides with the end of olive-tree pruning, when the branches are used to make “lumbres” (bonfires).

Held around 26 July, this festival guarantees fun and quality musical performances. For a week, the image of the Virgin is brought down in the Rosario de la Aurora procession to the Church of San Bartolomé, where the Virgen Niña is displayed for a devoted kissing-of-the-feet ceremony. It is one of the town's most important festivals; during the fair days, several artists perform in the town. Children's and youth activities are held, such as the well-known “Garbanzo de Oro”, in which local young people search the town for an envelope bearing those words, receiving clues over local radio to help them find it and win a prize. It's a fun game that has been played for years, calling for a bit of detective skill and wit among the contestants, making it lively and highly entertaining for young people.
