The Festes de Sant Antoni 2026 in Pollença and Port de Pollença are one of Mallorca’s most vibrant and traditional winter celebrations, held in honor of Sant Antoni Abat, the patron saint of animals.
For several days in January, the town’s squares, streets, and surroundings are filled with bonfires, traditional Mallorcan music, Dimonis (devil dances), Gloses, and popular activities. The festivities combine religious, folkloric, and community elements, creating a festive atmosphere that attracts both locals and visitors.
In Pollença, one of the most iconic aspects of the festival is the Pujada del Pi, a tradition where participants climb a specially prepared pine trunk in the Plaça Vella, testing their physical skills and fostering a competitive spirit.
