Sports
Borgo San Martino has a very important football team for the local community: San Carlo. This team took its name from the homonymous Salesian College located in the town center. In 2021-2022, a new football team was born chaired by the young Parish Priest Don Simone composed of young people from Borgo and neighboring villages, called BSM. This team plays in the Amateurs section of the province of Alessandria.

Every year, in the second weekend of June, the "Festa delle Fragole" (Strawberry Festival) is celebrated, an unmissable event in Borgo San Martino for almost 100 years, organized by the local proloco. The festival lasts three days and culminates with the election of "MISS FRAGOLA" and her bridesmaids.
