Montefrío has, as it should be in a good Andalusian village, many festivals throughout the year. One of the primary takes place in June, Feria de junio, with a varied program for everyone, with the best orchestras! The third weekend of June.

On the 18th of August there is "Fiestas Patronales de Agosto". The feast in honor of the patron of the "Virgen de los Remedios". This festival is the most symbolic. It has an extensive program and begins at least a week earlier with the first festivities.
Then there is in the autumn, the Feria de Septiembre, this looks very much like the feria in June, but both parties still have their own identity and programming. It's held the third weekend of September.

But Montefrío also has a few less familiar activities such as the flamenco festival Manuel Ávila. A tribute to the singer Manuel Ávila, traditionally celebrated in the week prior to the Fiestas de Agosto Patronales.
