The two busiest days of these festivities are Dimecres Bo and Dijous Bo, which represent the high points of the celebrations and take place on 13 and 14 November respectively. The festivities, which began on 7 November, include a packed schedule of activities such as traditional markets, livestock displays, artisan exhibitions, and parades that honor the region’s history and traditions. The full cycle of events concludes on Saturday, 23 November, with a series of sporting, musical, and cultural activities.

Dimecres Bo offers a program noted for its musical variety, children’s activities, and ‘tardeo’ for adults. In the afternoon, visitors can enjoy DJ sets at Pub Nits and a crossover Latin music party at La Chismosa, with several DJs creating the celebratory atmosphere. Additionally, at Pub Es Pou, the reggae sounds of Atàvik Sound System add a special touch to the day.

Meanwhile, Dijous Bo, the most anticipated day of the festivities, continues with a music lineup. In the morning, three groups of xeremiers will fill the streets with traditional Mallorcan music, creating an atmosphere around the market areas. In the afternoon, SART Club presents a live music special with Fina Barrat duo, and towards the evening, Sa Lluna will close the festivities with a performance by Los del Ficus.
