Badalucco celebrates Saint George on 23 April, in the Baroque church of Santa Maria Assunta e San Giorgio, built between 1683 and 1691 and recently restored; the town is also known for its stockfish festival, held every year on the third Sunday of September.

The patron saint of Badalucco is Saint George, celebrated on 23 April, in the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta e San Giorgio, in the main town: built in the Baroque style between 1683 and 1691, with a facade of two superimposed orders of columns on a high plinth with herms, it was further modified in 1834 and underwent a major restoration completed in 2024.

Badalucco's municipal coat of arms was granted by Royal Decree of King Victor Emmanuel III on 2 March 1931, and depicts, among other things, a fruit-laden olive tree and a rampant lion holding a sword. Also notable for the town is the stockfish festival, held every year on the third Sunday of September, whose connection to Badalucco is said, according to a local legend, to date back to a failed assault repelled by the inhabitants.
