Sa Coma Fiesta and Public Holidays

Below are listed the local events, fiestas and public holidays that we are aware of. Most fiestas will normally take place on the same dates each year, however, the programme of events is often not finalised until a few days beforehand:

January 1 New Years Day - Public Holiday
  5 The arrival of the Three Kings and worship of the baby Jesus.
  6 Feast of The Epiphany - Public Holiday
  16-17 Fiesta of Sant Antoni Abat the patron saint of animals. The event begins with the lighting of small bonfires, which the local residents sit around and sing traditional songs and roast "botifarrons", which are locally made blood sausages. The following day there is a colourful parade culminating in the blessing of the animals in front of the local parish Church.
March 1 Balearics Day - Public Holiday

June 24 Fiesta of Sant Joan Pelos. Sant Llorenc is one of the few towns on Majorca that celebrates the Fiesta of Sant Joan Pelos. On June 24 each year a traditional dance in his honour is performed during Mass, which is then repeated as part of a parade around the town. This dance depicts a young man from the town dressed as the saint who is accompanied by others dressed as devils.
