When she was canonized, in 1920, Catalina Thomàs became the first Saint from Mallorca. The festival in her honor, which is held for almost a week, is the most popular in Valldemossa, the village where she was born. The central event is Carro Triomfal de la Beata, a chariots parade adorned with flowers, driven by a girl of six years, which every year is chosen by the people in the village as blessed.
In addition to the Festival of the Beata (until 29 July), the summer festival Valldemossa 2017 program includes Festes of the Mare de Déu d'Agtost in Sa Marina (from 4 to 18 August) and the Festes of Sant Bartomeu (19 to 27 August).
