✅ Why go

Because it's a Sant Joan festival with a neighborhood spirit: welcoming, community-oriented, and designed to get people out on the streets. The program combines music, folk culture, family activities, a charity market, and opportunities to rediscover La Soledat from within.

It's a good plan if you want to experience a more local celebration in Palma, away from the big crowds, but with a popular atmosphere and activities for different ages.

✖️ Things to keep in mind

The program is spread over several days and spaces in the neighborhood, so it's a good idea to check the date and location of each activity before going.

The sign indicates that the association reserves the right to cancel any activity in the event of a serious unforeseen circumstance or force majeure. For activities in the town square, it's best to arrive early, especially for the outdoor dinner, the traditional Basque dance, and the neighborhood market.
