Nociglia celebrates Saint Anthony of Padua from 19 to 21 August, with a procession, brass band concerts and fireworks.

The protector of Nociglia is Saint Anthony of Padua, whose cult stems from miraculous events: the celebrations run from 19 to 21 August, opening with a procession and Mass, with brass band and musical concerts and fireworks in the evenings.

On 13 August comes the rural festival of Santu Donnu, tied to the statue of this «non-saint», celebrated since 1949 in the open countryside near the locality of Nociglia Fontana. The town holds the Parish Church of San Nicola Vescovo and the Cappella della Madonna dell'Itri.
