The patron saint of Motta di Livenza is Saint Nicholas, celebrated on 6 December in the Cathedral of San Nicola Vescovo.
Around Saint John's feast, on 24 June, a very well-attended town fair is held, hosting one of Italy's most famous soapy football, or splashball, tournaments. The town also holds the Sanctuary of the Madonna dei Miracoli and the Church of San Silvestro.
