She was worshiped by a group of priests called the Arval Bretheren, or "Field Brothers" in May, on approximately, IV Kalends June.
The Arval Bretheren consisted of twelve members chosen from senatorial families. In Imperial times, the Emperor was also among them. They had a sacred grove about five miles outside of Rome, near the modern site of La Gagliana where they would conduct a ritual in the temple of Dea Dia, which was located in the grove.
The Ambarvalia (moveable ritual from VI-IV Kalends June) was also associated with Dea Dia.
