The patroness of Bortigali is Santa Maria degli Angeli (Our Lady of the Angels), celebrated on 2 August; the municipality holds the Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angeli.
The country sagra of santa Maria de Sauccu, documented in administrative registers since 1606, begins on 7 September every year and ends on the 17th of the same month; it has kept its traditional characteristics almost intact, including that of being entirely paid for by an obriere appointed each year.
