SAINT BARTHOLOMEW, PATRON SAINT OF CAPDEPERA
24th august
The Sant Bartomeu festivities fill Capdepera and Cala Ratjada with life for two weeks, offering a vibrant mix of culture, music, sports, and local traditions. This celebration brings together locals and visitors in a joyful, welcoming atmosphere with activities for all ages and interests.
At the heart of the program is the spectacular Nit del Foc, the most anticipated night of the festival. As the lights of the old town go out, fire, fireworks, and dancing demons take over the streets in a breathtaking display of sound and light. It’s an unforgettable experience that truly must be seen to be believed.
Also not to be missed is the elegant Fiesta Blanca, an open-air party where everyone dresses in white. With live music, special lighting, and a festive atmosphere, it’s one of the most memorable nights of the celebrations.
Another highlight is the Garbeo Gabellí, a traditional community walk through the streets of the town, filled with music, joy, and a strong sense of local identity.
And of course, there’s the Gran Verbena, a lively night of dancing and celebration with concerts, DJs, and a fantastic atmosphere that lasts well into the night.
The Sant Bartomeu festivities are a living expression of Capdepera’s spirit: warm, festive, and full of energy. A unique opportunity to enjoy the Mallorcan summer at the heart of its traditions.
