The patron of Ripatransone is Saint Mary Magdalene, celebrated on the Sunday following 22 July with the solemn procession of her statue through the town's streets.
The civic feast includes the fireworks display known as the Cavallo di fuoco (Horse of Fire), born in honour of the Virgin on the day her sacred effigy was crowned, 10 May 1682, and now an attraction drawing visitors from other regions too. In the same period, the Teatro Mercantini hosts a performance by the youth international wind orchestra and an international choral festival. The town also holds the Concattedrale dei Santi Gregorio Magno e Margherita and the Anfiteatro delle Fonti.
