The horses and the music will be the protagonists.

The calendar of summer fiestas continues its course. Once finished the fiestas of Ciutadella and of Es Mercadal, this week the horses reach Fornells, with the fiestas for Sant Antoni.

On Saturday 22, following the official protocol, the traditional events will begin at 4.30 p.m. with a street parade and the grouping of the "qualcada" (group 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 Versions and Guateke.

The day after, Sunday 23, 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.
