Between 4 and 8 August, the patron saint festivities are held in honour of the Virgen de las Nieves, featuring numerous activities catering to all groups. Among them, the Flamenco Festival stands out, drawing notable figures from the national scene. There are also novice bullfights and full bullfights, held at the bullring opened in 1919, which has a large following.

Between May and June, Pegalajar hosts the Paragliding European and World Championship. An international event bringing together the world's best pilots in Mágina. The Siete Pilillas flying area, a prime spot for paragliding thanks to its aerological features and accessibility, will see 140 pilots from various countries take off and land. The competition will consist of races over an aerial course set each competition day depending on weather conditions, always flying without any form of propulsion and using only rising air currents. 

This is the longest-running flamenco event in the province of Jaén, among the flamenco gatherings that have passed the 50-year mark. Organised by Pegalajar Town Hall and sponsored by the Diputación de Jaén, it is held in collaboration with the town's Flamenco Club. The event is a benchmark for cante jondo enthusiasts thanks to the quality of its programme. 

One of the longest-running festivals in the province of Jaén, its stage has hosted some of the leading bands in Spanish rock. An eclectic festival where punk, reggae, metal or stoner rock can all be found on the same day.

On 17 January: in honour of the saint who protects animals. The tradition of lighting bonfires on the eve of the feast day continues.

The current custom is to bring children born and baptised the previous year to church for their presentation. The people of Peal bring offerings of the traditional rings and bread "palomitas", which are blessed and accompany the Virgen de la Encarnación. During the procession, instead of being decorated with flowers and candles, the image and its platform are adorned with the Candelaria rings.  

The festivities in honour of the patron saint are held twice a year: in the days around 25 March, and between 17 and 21 August, dates on which the Peal de Becerro fair is held, featuring numerous leisure and festive events, notably including the release of young bulls.

On the last Sunday of April, the pilgrimage in honour of San Marcos is held. During the event, the image is carried to the Toya river, where it is dipped in the water as a symbol of purification for the fields and livestock, so that the year may be fruitful.

This festival has always been marked in Orcera. The celebration consists of a day of community gathering at the spot known as El Convento. The traditional snack for the day is “the Rosca de la Candelaria”, or Hornazo, featuring a hard-boiled egg, painted in colours, at its centre. A number of traditional folk songs are also sung and danced.

Held since the middle of the last century. A Mass is celebrated in honour of the Saint, and once it ends, the floats decorated for the occasion set off towards the spot known as Armujo, accompanied by all the people of Orcera who wish to join. It is traditional to distribute and drink "cuerva".
