The patron saint of Castegnato is Saint Vitalis the Martyr, celebrated on the second Sunday of May.
The tradition began in 1685, when the saint's relics were donated during the construction of the new church of Castegnato. Since 1974, on the first Saturday of October, the Palio delle antiche contrade is run, a one-kilometre relay race among four teams, one for each district of the town. The town also holds the Church of San Giovanni Battista and Villa Calini.
