This communitarian equipment is directly linked to agricultural activities, such as maize husking, as well as the development of cultural and social activities, like festivities related with marriage ceremonies, and festivals associated with crops. At the end of August and beginning of September, in the Minho region, the celebration of the corn takes place in each small village in a common and collective space. The population gathers together to thresh the corn collectively, and to find the red corn among the crops.
