On 18 and 19 March San Martino sulla Marrucina celebrates its patron Saint Joseph, with the Esposizione, blessed wine and Saint Joseph's bread.

The feast of the patron Saint Joseph takes place every 18 and 19 March: during the questua (collection) before the days of the feast, a lay committee hands out blessed wine, on 18 March there is the tradition of the Esposizione, in memory of the saint's miraculous intervention against Napoleonic troops in 1799, and during the patronal feast the ancient processional cross by Pietro Paolo Gallucci is displayed and the blessed bread of Saint Joseph is given to the faithful.

Every 23 January the wedding of Our Lady and Saint Joseph is re-enacted, a figurative marriage with the two statues carried in procession side by side, and on the first Sunday after 15 August the Processione delle Torciere takes place, with girls carrying gifts of wax to the Madonna del Colle.
