Golfo Aranci celebrates Saint Joseph on 19 March. On 20 June, the feast of Saint Silverius, patron of Ponza, the people of Golfo Aranci recall the exodus of the Ponza fishermen who founded the town.

The patron of Golfo Aranci is Saint Joseph, celebrated on 19 March in the Antica Chiesa di San Giuseppe.

The town was born from a settlement of fishermen from Ponza, and on 20 June, the feast of Saint Silverius, patron of the Pontine island, the people of Golfo Aranci recall that exodus with a Mass and a procession in the gulf aboard fishing boats. In the rural church of Nostra Signora del Monte, on the hill of Santa Maria di Figari above the Gulf of Marinella, a feast is held every first Sunday of May. The area holds the Pozzo Sacro Milis sacred well and the Cala Delfino beach.
