Sant antoni 2026 in sa pobla

The Festes de Sant Antoni 2026 in Sa Pobla are one of Mallorca’s most spectacular and traditional winter celebrations, held in honor of Sant Antoni Abat, the patron saint of animals.

For several days in January, the town becomes the center of devotion, fire, and traditional music. The squares and streets are filled with bonfires (foguerons), Dimonis (devil dances), Gloses (improvised songs), pyromusical shows, and cultural activities that combine religious, folkloric, and community elements.
