The other villages honour their Patron Saints as follows: in Caimari, Our Lady on the 15th of August,  in Biniamar, Santa Tecla on the 23rd of September, and in Moscari, Santa Ana on the 26th of July. Moscari also celebrates its popular fiestas during the last week of August. 

Also popular are the "pancaritats" which take place in all the villages: Crist Rei (Selva), on Easter Monday; el Puig (Biniamar), on the first of May; el cor de Jesús (Moscari), on the 15th of June and en Fornassos (Caimari), on Easter Monday. 

In Camareta de Selva, the fair and fiesta de la Creu is held on the 3rd of May. This has become, over the years, a popular fiesta and an exhibition of craftwork.
