The Ratapinyada of Sant Sebastià 2025 will take place this Saturday, 18 January, with Plaça d’Alexander Fleming as the venue. This traditional event, now in its 46th edition and organised by the Youth Department of the Ajuntament de Palma through the Dinamo service, will offer an afternoon full of free activities aimed at young people aged 14 to 30.

From 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., attendees will enjoy a diverse programme combining music, culture, art, and workshops. The organisation has relied on the voluntary collaboration of nearly 50 young people and five local organisations, who have worked together to design an event filled with creativity and fun.
Among the scheduled activities for this year’s Ratapinyada of Sant Sebastià 2025, the highlight is the Ballada de ‘ball de bot’, which will kick off the event from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. with a performance by the dance group from Casal de Barri s’Escorxador. In the musical section, the bands DNA, Abyss, Kamiza, and Second Phone will set the rhythm with their live performances.
Art will also feature prominently, with exhibitions by young local creators, including Kakistudio, Ryon, Magui Alemany, Keko, It’s Marta Art, Dewi Ware, and Davinia. For fantasy enthusiasts, an interactive role-playing game, “Onis vs Dimonis”, will be organised by a team of young collaborators.
‘Fireta’ of Organisations and Services
In addition, attendees can visit a ‘Fireta’ of organisations and services, offering workshops and exhibitions by groups such as Associació Maülla, Ses Bèsties Roller Derby Mallorca, the Historical Fencing Sports Club of Mallorca, and Espais Joves. There will also be a youth information point and a photocall to capture the moment.
A novelty this year is the inclusion of the Llonguetada, an initiative promoted by the organisation Orgull Llonguet de Palma, which aims to give greater visibility to this traditional local event.
The Ratapinyada has become a reference in Palma’s youth leisure scene, providing a space for young people to celebrate the city’s patron saint festivities in a dynamic, creative, and participative environment. Organisers note that attendees can arrive by bicycle or by EMT bus (lines 10, 11, and 12).
