Fornells celebrates the fiestas for Sant Antoni

The calendar of summer fiestas continues its course. Once finished the fiestas of Ciutadella and of Es Mercadal, this week the horses reach Es Castell, as you can see in this piece of news, and they also reach Fornells, with the fiestas for Sant Antoni.

The fiestas for Sant Antoni in Fornells began on July 16 with the opening of an art exhibition by Antoni Gomila Tortosa, but most of the activities will take place during the weekend.

On Saturday 26, following the official protocol, the traditional events will begin at 4.30 p.m. with a street parade by the music band of Es Migjorn Gran and the grouping of the "qualcada" (grupo of horse riders). At 7 p.m., there will be a mass in the parish church and the awaited "Jaleo" will begin in the square. The day will end with a refreshment for the "Caixers" (horse riders) and with an open dance animated by the music groups Trio Oasis and Feeling.

The day after, Sunday 27, the events will begin at 9 a.m. with the "Diana Florejada" and, following the same order as the day before, the "qualcada", the mass and the "jaleo" will take place. At night there will be a concert by the groups Xaloc and Arjau and a dance with music by Trio Oasis and Feeling.

The fiestas will continue until Monday 28, with regattas, children's games, a sea-firework display and music by Polaris and Feeling.

The full programme is available in PDF format.
