The patron of Polcenigo is Saint James, celebrated on 25 July in the Church of San Giacomo Apostolo.
In September, the Sagra dei Thést is held, an event recalling the ancient craft of wicker, reed and raffia basket-weaving. The town holds the Castello di Polcenigo and Palazzo Fullini-Zaia, and overlooks the source of the Gorgazzo.
