Festivals and Carnivals in Chinnalapatti

Most of the people in Chinnalapatti are conservative Hindus and retain their tradional festivals. Alagar festival is celebrated every year.
Some years it was stirred by communal violences.

Another notable celebration is Veedhi Devru Mokku(Stree worship of god in Kannada). In recent years many non-Kannadic groups are also participating this celebration.

Christianity in Chinnalapatti is ever growing. Every year the Christian festivals are celebrated more and more elaborately which shows a steady increase of Christian population in the town.
