Fiesta del Olivo Milenario This festival is held at the end of January. Its origin lies in paying homage to the ultimate icon of Daimiel, although homage is also paid to the cuisine and taste for the festive side typical of the Manchegan character.
January/February Carnival This is the pagan festival par excellence. The people from Daimiel hide behind their masks to make fun of the rest of the locals. Its origins stem from 1650 when there were already records of the existence of the cofradía de las ánimas (brotherhood of the souls), which passed through Daimiel.
March/April Holy Week Declared a week of regional tourist interest. The brotherhoods are the only ones in Spain that follow the Passion and Death of Christ chronologically. Many of the sculptures were made by great masters such as Alonso Cano and Martínez Montañés.
