Sant Sebastià is the patron saint of Palma, and the Balearic capital begins the year celebrating its most famous festivities in honor of the saint. Festivities famous for their fire spectacle and their Revetlla, converting the city center in a multiple stage of concerts.
Las Fiestas de Sant Sebastià 2018, organized by the Council City of Palma, will be officially inaugurated on January 12 with the reading of the children's proclamation by Catalina Valriu and the proclamation of fiesta by Esther López, Maria Bauçà and Josep Orfila.
From then on, two weeks of an intense program of very varied acts take place, which reaches its peak in the famous Revetla de Sant Sebastià on the 19th, with more than thirty concerts distributed throughout the city, and on the 21st with the correfoc.
Sant Sebastià 2019 ends on Sunday, January 27 with the Palma Fotogràfica marathon, which this year reaches its 33nd edition.
