The patron saint of Arquata Scrivia is Saint Roch of Montpellier, celebrated on 16 August with a patronal feast organised by the town council, the Pro Loco and the Green Cross.
The Fair of Saints James and Philip, on 1 May, dedicated to livestock and various goods, has a five-century tradition and was once a very important event for the town's economic life. On 24 August, the Saint Bartholomew fair is held, also called the onion fair, and on 4 November the Saint Charles fair. The town also holds the Casa Gotica and the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Montaldero.
