Festes de Sant Agustí

Plaça de Sa Font, Felanitx

Felanitx honours Sant Agustí with a week of fiesta that climaxes on 28 August, the saint's day — the town's most famous and liveliest festa. Processions, concerts, fireworks and, above all, two traditions unique to the town fill the streets. The Ball dels Cavallets sees seven costumed children — six as cardboard hobby-horses, one as the guiding dama — dance through the streets on the morning of Sant Agustí and the eve before, while the dimonis (devils) chase the little dancers and a correfoc floods the streets with fire and drums after dark. By night, the historic verbenas at the Parc Municipal de Sa Torre draw thousands. Practical: 28 August 2026 (saint's day) · street fiesta roughly 22–28 August · Plaça de Sa Font, Felanitx · free entry to the street events (some headline verbenas ticketed separately).

WHAT HAPPENS

The shape of it

Ball dels Cavallets

Felanitx's signature ritual dance: seven costumed children — six as cardboard hobby-horses and one as the guiding 'dama' — dance through the streets on the morning of Sant Agustí and the eve before, a tradition going back to the town's Augustinian convent of 1603.

Dimonis and the correfoc

Costumed dimonis (devils) chase the young cavallets to sprinkle them for luck, and a fire-run correfoc — with colles spinning catherine-wheels of sparks — turns the streets into fire and drums after dark.

A century of verbenas

The nightly verbena concerts at the Parc Municipal de Sa Torre are among Mallorca's biggest; the 2026 line-up brings M-Clan and Celtas Cortos (22 Aug) and Love of Lesbian (26 Aug) for their only island dates.

Processions and fireworks

The fiesta week gathers the whole town with processions, concerts and fireworks around 28 August, the saint's day.

When to go

28 August

GOOD TO KNOW

Before you go

For the correfoc, wear old cotton clothing with long sleeves and trousers, closed shoes and a hood or scarf over your hair and neck — sparks melt synthetic fabrics.

The Cavallets dance on the morning of Sant Agustí (28 August) and on the afternoon/evening of the vigil (27 August).

The street fiesta — Cavallets, dimonis, correfoc and processions — is free and open to all; note some headline verbena concerts at the Parc Municipal de Sa Torre are ticketed separately.
