The town celebrates the Libad Festival in the month of June to coincide with the Feast of St. John the Baptist, the patron saint of the town.

Agriculture is the main economic activity in Calumpit. However, commerce and industry are fast rising in importance as sources of livelihood.

Being strategically located almost halfway between Clark Economic Zone and Metro Manila, the town of Calumpit can be developed as an agro-industrial center. The production of high value commercial crops and the processing thereof has a bright prospect in this town. The establishment of industrial estates that would host both light and heavy industries can be viable.
