NEWS AND EVENTS

Horses play the leading role in all popular fiestas that are held throughout the Minorcan summer. From June to September, horses and their riders, dressed in mainly black and white and decorated with ribbons, embroidery and multi-coloured carnations, relive each year a ritual that has its origins in the beginning of the 14^th century.

The calendar for the popular fiestas is as follows:

June 23rd and 24th: Sant Joan in Ciutadella.

End of July: Es Mercadal, Fornells and Es Castell.

August, almost every weekend: Es Migjorn Gran, Llucmaçanes, Alaior, Sant Climent, Ferreries (24^th and 25^th , Sant Bartomeu) and Sant Lluís.

September 8th and 9th, Mare de Déu de Gràcia in Maó.
