Festivals
La fiesta más popular de Vilaboa es el carnaval, que se celebra en dos parroquias, San Adrián y Santa Cristina. Los personajes más populares son las "madamas" y los "galáns", que van con unos espectaculares trajes. También hay la llamada "corrida do galo", acontecimiento donde se trata de atrapar a un gallo(actualmente de plástico) con algunas condiciones. La fiesta termina con el "Sermón del carnaval", en el que un predicador relata los hechos ocurridos en el pueblo durante el año.
