Festival of the Ascension of the Saint
August 29–30, 2026
A traditional celebration held on the last weekend of August to carry the statue of the town’s patron saint, St. James the Apostle, in a procession from the parish church of Our Lady of the Assumption to his chapel after a month-long stay in the town. The festivities include a neighborhood procession, a community dinner in the plaza, and a concert or open-air dance to bid farewell to the summer season. The official website provides information on the traditional celebration, though it does not yet include a detailed program with specific times.
Location: Plaza Mayor and Church of the Assumption to the Chapel of St. James, Viniegra de Abajo
