These feature an extensive programme of activities, including religious events, the opening address, open-air dances, concerts, championships and the traditional “bull runs with young bulls”. One of the championships is for bolos serranos, a local game from the Sierra de Segura that had almost been lost, with Orcera pioneering its revival by organising the “First Regional Championship” in 1969.

On 17 January. The night before, “lumbres” (bonfires) are lit to celebrate the patron saint of animals and to ask the saint to protect household animals. It is a custom that appears to be fading over the years.

From 5 to 7 September. Inside the municipal pavilion, local traders set up stands to promote the sale of their products. Many visitors come from surrounding towns.

 Held on 7 October. The festival begins with the Rosario de la Aurora at 7 am. In the evening, at 8 pm, the procession takes place, carrying the image of the Virgin through the streets of Noalejo. The large number of lit torches illuminating the way makes for a particularly striking sight.

Held from 14 to 19 August. These are the main festivities and the ones most eagerly awaited by residents. The date was moved from October to the current one in August so that those living away from the town could attend. The Virgin is taken up to the hermitage on Saturday in a procession beginning at 10:00 pm, passing through the town's streets before climbing up to the hermitage, where a Salve is sung. On Sunday, the procession is repeated, lasting an estimated four hours.

The pilgrimage takes place around the hermitage of the patron saint, located about 5 kilometres from Navas de San Juan. Declared of national tourist interest, the events begin as early as 30 April, with a floral offering to the Virgin's standard and a solemn Mass.

1 May begins with a wake-up call, as local authorities set off from the town hall to the sanctuary of La Virgen de La Estrella. Everyone follows the standard in a procession, with floats and pilgrims on horseback, dressed in Andalusian costume. A solemn Mass is held at the sanctuary. Various performances take place that day in the sanctuary's auditorium.

On 2 May, the authorities once again set off from the town hall towards the sanctuary; after the religious events and celebration, the co-patron saint of Navas de San Juan is carried from the sanctuary to the monument commemorating her apparition to the farmer Juan, in the 12th century.

On 3 May, following Mass at the sanctuary, La Virgen de La Estrella is returned to the parish church. The image is welcomed with rose petals, in the most moving moment of the pilgrimage in honour of La Virgen de La Estrella in Navas de San Juan. In the evening, there is a big celebration and fireworks.

These festivities have been held since 1808 in honour of San Juan Bautista, Patron Saint of the Jaén town of Navas de San Juan.

On the afternoon of 24 June, the Patron Saint is carried through the town's streets to the bullring, to the sound of pasodobles, to make a lap of the ring as a blessing and endorsement of the popular events prepared in his honour, a tradition that defines these festivities.

Among the recreational events, the "bull runs" stand out, a custom held since time immemorial, in which fighting bulls are run through the town's streets.

Both at the fairground, with its open-air dance, fairground attractions and mobile bars, and at the town's other bars and restaurants, the joy and festive spirit characteristic of the people of Navas overflows during these final days of June, marking the start of summer.

A three-day festival originally created so that those living away from the town, unable to attend the San Juan festivities, could still enjoy them. In this way, the celebrations are recreated on a smaller, more concentrated scale, as an extension of the June festivities. Concerts, cultural events and the main attraction — the bull runs — are all part of the programme.

Observing wildlife in the wild is one of the great attractions of the province of Jaén. Of all the species living in the Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas, Despeñaperros and Sierra de Andújar Natural Parks, one impressive mammal stands out: the red deer. With the arrival of autumn, visitors can enjoy a beautiful natural spectacle starring these deer: the rut. It's one of the province's great natural draws, with privileged spots for witnessing this fascinating moment. Scheduled routes are available, which can be booked in advance.

Held on the third weekend of May, in the recreational area of the "El Dañador" reservoir. People camp over the weekend of the celebration. There is an open-air dance on Friday and Saturday nights.
