The museum collects a sample of clothing, party programs, sheet music, etc, of the nine existing troupes and presents a journey through the history of one of the oldest festivities of Moors and Christians, with graphic illustrations and teaching materials. The Festivity is composed of nine lines: Espanyoletos, Grenadiers, Smugglers, Tercio de Suavos, Estudiantes, Moros Viejos, Marrocs, Moors and Musketeers. The festive trilogy is common to all the festive people.

On the first day is celebrated the Moors and Christians Parade. The second is dedicated to the religious feast of the Patron, with votive mass and procession. Then there is the day of the Embassies, with shots of arquebuses. On the fourth day is celebrated the mass of thanksgiving at the Sanctuary of Santo Cristo and the representation of the "Despojo del Moro". The Festivity has its prologue on the eve of the Parade and the Night of Boxes, with the parade of lanterns and drum rolls to commemorate the proclamation of Sant Blai as Patron of the village.
