The calendar of Galibi festivals also does not correspond to that of the Karipuna or Galibi-Marworno. They do not celebrate the Divine Holy Spirit, as do the Karipuna, and they never were adept at the indigenous Turé rituals, which, according to them, are rituals of the peoples of the forest (de la brousse, of the bush) and not of the peoples of the coast (de la côte). In the past, the great festivals were funerary rituals or rituals that marked the end of mourning and that brought together many of the local groups, in which women’s songs and drum-beaters were important features.

Today, the major festival is celebrated on the last day of the year, when those who live outside the village return to visit their kin and when friends from other places join the Galibi in feasting, eating, dancing and drinking caxixi, fermented manioc drink. The other festivals occur in August, that of Holy Mary which was the great festival in Maná, and São José, the patron saint of the village.
