Two of these guilds maintain the tradition of the Sartiglia in Oristano, the Guild of Farmers and the Guild of Carpenters. On 'Candlemas', February 2nd, the head of each guild appoints a leader for his procession. This leader is called 'Su Componidori'. The guilds hold their events on two different days, the Guild of Farmers on 'Carnival Sunday' (the last Sunday of Carnivale) and the Guild of Carpenters on 'Shrove Tuesday' (Martedi Grasso or Mardi Gras). As with 'Carnivale', the actual dates each year will depend when Easter falls.
