There were a lot of cultural activities associated with Ancient Sparta. Here are a few.

1. The "Agoge" was a form of education/military training which the Spartans followed and were famous for.

2. The "gymnopedia" was a major annual festival.

3. The "krypteia" was the organized and clandestine killing of random Helots by young members of the Spartan class. (Helots were Spartan slaves.)

4. The festival of Artemis Orthia was an annual festival honoring a prominent Spartan goddess.

5. Infant exposure was probably practiced elsewhere in Ancient Greece, but it was particularly unforgiving in Sparta.

6. The Spartans had a set of unique laws and Lycurgus was one of their famous early law givers.

7. The Spartans had a tradition of speaking in a brief and pointed fashion. Consequently, there are extensive collections of Spartan saying which have survived the centuries. (We also get the term "laconic" from that aspect of Spartan culture.)

The list could go on, but this is decent start.
