If you’re looking for an authentic and vibrant experience this summer, you can’t miss the Sant Jaume Festival in Formentera. This event, celebrated on July 25th in the municipality of Sant Francesc, is one of the island’s most important festivities, combining tradition, music, culture, and fun.
A Journey to Tradition
The Sant Jaume Festival is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the rural traditions of Formentera. For an entire week, the town of Sant Francesc comes alive with activities for all tastes and ages. From exhibitions and workshops, sports and open-air concerts, to the iconic flower power party and traditional ball pagès demonstrations.
On the main day, July 25th, the celebration begins with a mass at the Sant Jaume church, an old fortification that gave rise to the town. After the mass, you can’t miss the tasting of the traditional Orelletes, a typical sweet that will delight your palate. In the evening, the festivities continue with musical performances, a spectacular fireworks display, and an orchestra dance in the Plaza de Sant Francesc.
