The official programme runs from mid-September to early October, establishing itself as the most anticipated festive period on the local calendar thanks to its perfect combination of religious fervour, Castilian tradition and street entertainment.

Thy festivity keeps the municipality's popular customs alive through traditional events that are eagerly awaited by all iscarienses (local residents of Íscar). The celebrations incorporate historic musical groups from the area, responsible for enlivening the days with musical parades and morning reveilles that wake up the town. The active participation of peñas (social clubs), associations and local groups reinforces the deeply traditional character of these major days dedicated to the patron saint.
