Since the Brotherhood of San Roque was created in 1698, more than 300 years have passed. More than enough time for the descendants of those who organized the first patron saint festivities to perfect them until they achieved, as they did in 2006, recognition as “of national tourist interest”. Indeed, today there are few people who have not heard of the famous Water Festival, which is celebrated every August 16. With its town crier, fire trucks, and its most sui generis devices to soak others, the water festival begins when the saint is taken to his chapel, around twelve noon, and ends not before four in the afternoon, more than enough time to leave everything and everyone soaked. But San Roque is more, the very transfer of the saint from the parish church to the chapel, free concerts, usually in the A Xunqueira park, where there is also a craft fair. An international clown festival, the Festiclown, a week of cinema, the Revenidas Festival, the Naval Combat show, the festival of the renowned Carril Clam, and the Noite das Meigas.
