The local House of Culture is used for balls, children's events such as masquerade parties and other entertaining and educational programmes, discos for the younger generation, and performances by well-known musicians and orchestras. Intimate concerts, mainly of classical music, are held for a devoted circle of enthusiasts in the wedding hall at the Town Hall. The distribution of gifts by St. Nicholas and Christmas concerts in the church have become local traditions. Performances by school children of all ages have become popular events.
A significant novelty in the social realm was the renewal of the famous Štíty folk market: the first market was held in 1993 and has now become a tradition on the last Saturday in May. The month of May belongs to the presentation of the town at the Zábřeh Micro-Region Days. This exhibition of the Micro-Region is held every year in a different town or village and is accompanied by a rich cultural programme.
The Štíty Fair is held annually on the weekend in the middle of August along with world acrobatic skiing competitions at the Acrobat Park of 2002 Olympic gold medallist Aleš Valenta.
