LOCAL SUMMER EVENTS 2008

Until 2nd August in Pollensa there will be the festivities in honour of the Patron Saint of Pollensa, a civic religious celebration that dates from the first years of the Catalan conquest.

If you're brave enough you must see the central event of the mock battle bewtween the Moors and the Christians, to commemorate the battle by the people against 1,500 Moors that took place on May 30 1550. This celebration is suitable for the entire family, but do remember to pack your armour and swords, it can get messy!

Created in 1962 by the distinguished violinist Philip Newman and sponsored by the Pollença Town Council. After his death, it was continued, and for some years now, the Festival is now recognised throughout Europe.

Every day there´s a different concert and on the last night everyone dresses in white for “Marcha Fresca” and parties to local DJ´s until the early hours of the morning. Come along and join us all there - Don´t wear your best whites!!!!!

Tribute To The Patron Of The Port - Sea-land procession and an extraordinary fireworks display in honour of the Patron Saint of seafarers and fishermen.

The Fiesta de la Verge del Carme takes place on the 16th July. In Puerto Pollensa the festivities take place either in the week before or the week after. Fairline will confirm the dates closer to the time so you can prepare your boat and moor it out in the bay of Puerto Pollensa to watch the fireworks spectacle.

Everyday there are live concerts and exhibitions including Beach Rugby, Gymnastics, Karate, or you can even join in yourselves and test your balance in the human tower competition. On June 29th there's a procession both on land and sea with the statue of the saint. The parade carries the statue through the streets of Port d'Alcúdia, then sails it round the Bay, followed by hundreds of decorated boats.
