On January 1, Puerto Serrano celebrates New Year’s Day.
The last week of February (varies yearly from the 17th to the 25th) is spent on the annual Carnival. This is a 4 to 5 day event, filled with merrymaking, live music, dancing, and fairs.
From March to April, Puerto Serrano observes the very important Lenten season. In the second or third week of April, the Semana Santa (“Holy Week”) culminates the Lenten season.
From July 20 to 22, the town honors its patron saint, St. Mary Magdalene, with a pilgrimage. Most of the townsfolk join in the pilgrimage that starts at the town and ends at a secluded shrine outside of town.
Then from August 15 to 19, the town holds its annual fair, an event similar to the Carnival.
On November 1, the locals of Puerto Serrano remember their departed beloved on the Todos Los Santos (“All Saints’ Day”). And finally, Christmas Day is celebrated on December 25.
