Must Do Fairs and Festivals in Menorca this year!

Menorcans love a good fair or festival and with good reason! With stunning native horse displays, excellent food and drink and an opportunity to showcase their rich culture, Menorca’s variety of firas and fiestas have something for everyone! Take a look at our insider’s guide to the best fairs and festivals you can experience in Menorca this year.
 

Dia de Sant Jordi (St George’s Day)

When: 23rd April

Where: The centre of Ciutadella, Ferreries, Sant Lluis or Es Castell

What to Expect: St George’s Day signifies bravery, with the celebration dating back to the legend of St George slaying a dragon to save a princess. St George is the patron saint of Catalonia and so this festival is celebrated across Catalunya, Barcelona and the Balearic Islands.  In Catalonian culture, St George’s Day is the most romantic day of the year – similar to Valentine’s Day in the UK. Expect to see open markets full of roses and books, as this day offers an opportunity to encourage others to read something new!

This celebration is very popular with Menorcans so make sure you head down to soak up the atmosphere – and don’t forget to buy roses if you are visiting with your significant other!

 

18th Century British Heritage Festival

When: 28th - 29th April

Where: Mahon

What to Expect: For a large proportion of the 18th century, Menorca was actually British as the island was captured during the War of Spanish Succession. The influence the British had on the island can still be seen today and this festival celebrates the rich historical ties between Menorca and Britain.

Head to the capital of the island to take part in this fun festival and enjoy local delicacies galore from the food stalls dotted around. 

 

Menorca Horse Fiestas

Menorcans love a fiesta, and they relish being able to combine a festivity with the chance to show off their stunning native horses. From June to September each year, a number of horse fiestas take place across the island. These are exciting spectacles which consist of religious ceremony, live entertainment, food and parades. Local horses are raced through the streets, and riders show off their skills with Jaleos, where horses stand and jump on their hind legs while the brave in the crowd try to ‘touch the heart’ of the horse, as it is believed to bring good luck. 

 

If you want to sample some real Menorcan culture, we recommend going along to one of the many Horse Fiestas taking place during the summer months…
