Between 24 and 26 September, festivities are held in honour of the Virgen de Albanchez, patron saint of the town, in whose honour young bulls are run. According to ancient tradition, they are led on foot from the spot known as El Pozo Nevazo, joining the traditional urban route that runs from the slope by the river along Calle Mesón, Santa Ana and Real streets, until reaching the bullring.

The Villacarrillo Fair has grown considerably in recent years, becoming one of the most important in the province of Jaén. This celebration has its origins in the medieval trade and livestock fair, which allowed residents to exchange goods, and it was Ferdinand VII who gave it official status. It is held in honour of the patron saints, the Santísimo Cristo de la Vera Cruz and Nuestra Señora del Rosario, from 9 to 16 September, although the first main day of the fair is the 14th. One of the Fair and Festival's main attractions, and the most renowned part of the programme, are the bullfighting events. Especially the traditional Bull Runs, held on 9, 10, 11 and 12 September from 9:30 am. These bull runs, dating back to the 18th century, are extremely popular in the province. Its bullring, opened in 1955, has seen — and continues to see — the top names in bullfighting pass through, and enjoys great prestige at national level.

Traditional bull runs are held, following mountain custom, in honour of the Virgen del Campo. This festival stems from the tradition known as “el ocho de Torres”, whereby every 8 May the Virgen del Campo was brought from her hermitage to the parish church, where she remained until 8 September, when she returned once again to her hermitage.

Between 20 and 24 August. Although intended to honour Santa Águeda, it is also a nod to the emigrants who return to their hometown at this time of year. The festivities begin with the traditional opening address, and there's no shortage of the characteristic bull runs, which have the distinctive feature of being held at night.

Tradition holds that in the 16th century, the people of Siles made a vow to the saints San Marcos and San Roque to build them a hermitage, having been freed from the bubonic plague through their intercession. Ever since, this event has been celebrated every year.

Between 10 and 16 August, Siles holds its main festivities in honour of its patron saint. The festival begins on the 10th, when the image of San Roque is brought in procession from his hermitage to the parish church, where religious services will be held in his honour every day. The saint returns to his hermitage on the 16th. The highlight of this week of festivities is the daily bull run, but the most notable is the one held on the eve of San Roque, when the last bull to run that day, known as “La vaca del agua de San Roque”, is not put down at the end of the event, but is instead taken to the hermitage to be sacrificed, amid the cries of residents who throw buckets of water at it shouting ¡agua! (water!), in an ancient rite of purification.

The Fiestas de Pascuamayo are an unusual way of celebrating Whit Monday. Everything centres on a ritual that forms the culmination of this festival in honour of the Virgen del Collado, known as the Toma del Cuadro, a tradition dating back to the first half of the 13th century. Highlights include festive events and bull runs.

In Santiago de la Espada, Pontones and La Matea, the popular bull runs are held, in which cattle are brought in from the countryside to the town square to be fought that afternoon, along with ribbon races on horseback. Other activities are also held, such as horse races, children's games and more.

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.

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.
