The fiesta in honour of the Virgin of Montserrat takes place from the 11th to the 16th of August. During these days Monforte is full of musical performances and entertainment that take place all over the city, in Plaza de España, Río Cabe, Parque de los Condes, Cardenal and the esplanade de la Compañía, where the night time music concerts take place that attract a huge number of visitors.

With the festival  “A rúa é vosa”  magic, music, comedy and acrobatics fill the streets of the city with something for everyone from the youngest to the oldest. The 15th of August is the  Día de La Patrona (the Day of the Patron Saint), the Virgin of Montserrat. On this day the town officials and locals meet at the Casa Consistorial to walk up to the church of San Vicente to take part in a mass and a floral offering to the Patron of the City. This official occasion is accompanied by a Gaita Band (traditional bagpipes) and a traditional dance group. The mass is sung by the Coral Polifónica del Ayuntamiento de Monforte ( Monforte’s choir). On the Patron Saint Day, the Day of the Gaiteiros (bagpipe players) also takes place in order to celebrate and show off the richness of Galician culture in its many guises. Therefore, throughout the morning and the afternoon groups of gaiteiros parade through different areas of Monforte performing. The day ends with a street party, consisting of a free concert by a famous artist or group in the Compañía and a fireworks display from San Vicente. At midnight the sky over Monforte is filled with colour for nearly half an hour. With the silhouette of the Castle of San Vicente as a back drop, the firework display attracts more visitors every year.
