Cardedu's main religious celebration honours its patron saint San Simplicio with a solemn procession through the village streets, sung masses and moments of community sharing. The celebrations span several days and include musical and gastronomic events that showcase local produce. The feast is an important occasion for the Cardedu community, including emigrants who often return to their home village specifically to take part.
