The patron of Fontevivo is Saint Bernard, celebrated on 20 August.
On the second weekend of July, in the park of the former Capuchin convent, the Festa del Prosciutto e del Melone has been held since 1989, a countryside feast with traditional Parma dishes, where the real stars are Parma ham and melon. The town also holds the Fontevivo Abbey and the Parmigiano Reggiano Museum.
