The patron of Alto Reno Terme is Saint Mary Magdalene, celebrated on 22 July in the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena.
In the hamlet of Porretta Terme, the Porretta Soul Festival is held every year, one of the oldest soul and blues music festivals in Europe, which led to the town's twinning with Memphis, in the United States, the birthplace of that music; the bond is also recalled by the Museo del soul. The town also holds the Oratory of the Crocifisso and the Church of the Immacolata Concezione.
