Fiestas del Santo is Santo Domingo de la Calzada’s annual community celebration, combining religious and traditional acts with music, culture and public entertainment. Events unfold through the historic La Rioja town, so visitors experience the festival as part of local civic life rather than within a separate festival enclosure.

Fiestas del Santo brings Santo Domingo de la Calzada together around a celebration in which religious devotion, local tradition and public entertainment share the same streets.
