The patron of Boca is Saint Gaudentius, celebrated on 22 January; his name is also borne by one of the town's four districts (contrade), alongside San Grato, Madonna della Neve and San Rocco.
Between 2007 and 2012 the contrade competed in the Giostra delle Botti, a race run in the historic centre along a figure-eight course with 550-litre tonneau barrels.
