Festes de Sant Jaume — Calvià Vila 2026

Calvià vila

Every July the inland town of Calvià vila turns its whole week over to the Festes de Sant Jaume, the patron-saint summer festes that are the biggest celebration on the local calendar. The signature act is the correfoc on the feast day itself, 25 July — a fire-run of pounding drums, showering sparks and costumed devils weaving through the old-town streets. Around that night the programme fills out with live music, verbena dance parties in the square and a run of children's and family events, so the fiesta stretches across every age and across the whole festes weekend. This is the town's own patronal celebration in Calvià vila — not to be confused with Santa Ponça's Rei En Jaume landing festival or the ticketed Es Jardí concert series. Programme: Correfoc fire-run on the feast day, 25 July · live-music concerts and verbenas in the town square · children's and family events by day · traditional patron-saint acts, all in the streets and squares of Calvià vila. Practical: Around 25 July 2026 · Calvià vila old town, around the Sant Jaume parish church · free open-air town festival, no ticket · the full day-by-day 2026 line-up is published by the Ajuntament de Calvià closer to the dates.

WHAT HAPPENS

The shape of it

The correfoc fire-run

The signature act of the festes is the correfoc — a fire-run of drums, sparks and costumed devils through the streets of Calvià vila, staged as the main event on the feast day itself, 25 July.

Live music & verbenas

The programme is built around live music, with open-air concerts and verbena dance nights filling the town square across the festes weekend.

Children's & family events

Alongside the night-time acts there is a run of children's and family events, so the celebration reaches across every age through the day.

Calvià's biggest fiesta

Sant Jaume is the patron-saint feast and the most important celebration in the inland town of Calvià vila, with the whole village rearranging its week around it — quite separate from Santa Ponça's Rei En Jaume landing festival.

SCHEDULE

When to go

25 July

GOOD TO KNOW

Before you go

It is a free open-air town festival — the correfoc, concerts and street events run in public spaces with no ticket.

The feast day is 25 July and the festes cluster around it over the surrounding weekend; the 2025 edition ran from 17 to 25 July.

Everything happens in Calvià vila, the inland town centre around the Sant Jaume parish church — not on the Santa Ponça or Palmanova coast.

The full day-by-day 2026 line-up is published by the Ajuntament de Calvià closer to the dates — check the official agenda for exact times.
