Each year, a Festival takes place which is organised in turns by the member organisations in their own countries. Every Freemason belonging to a member organisation may attend the Festival (together with close family members or friends).
The program of the CATENA Festival usually consists of the following:
- Welcome Reception
- Annual General Meeting of the Curatorium on Thursday or Friday
- Presentation of study themes
- Presentation and discussions of the contributions to the annual study theme
- Saint John's Ceremony (10) on Saturday
- Closing Banquet on Saturday evening
An initiation ceremony or another special ceremony is often organised by the host for Sunday morning
