Festes de Sant Bartomeu
Plaça Constitució, Sóller·22:30
Sóller celebrates its patron saint, Sant Bartomeu, with several days of fiesta that climax on 24 August, the saint's day. It is a neighbourhood festa — more family-based than the town's famous Fira and Firó — with art exhibitions, theatre, artisan crafts, sporting events, funfair rides and, every night, music and dancing in the plaça. The grand finale is the Nit de Foc: the correfoc of the Esclatabutzes de Sóller, the village's own colla of demons, who in sackcloth and bird-man masks sweep through the square wheeling catherine-wheels that spray showers of sparks over the crowd to a pounding drum beat. Practical: 24 August 2026 · Nit de Foc at 22:30 · Plaça Constitució, Sóller · free entry · come by the Sóller train or tram.

Funfair and crafts

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.
Come by the historic Sóller train or tram — parking in the village is tight during the fiesta.
The Nit de Foc starts at 22:30 in Plaça Constitució; arrive early to get a spot in the square.
