All activities will be free of charge<\/strong> and will take place mainly at Parc de sa Feixina, the area around Parc de la Mar and the Basilica of Sant Miquel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The celebrations will begin on Friday 4 September with an afternoon dedicated to children and an open-air dance that will continue into the early hours<\/strong>. The following day will feature one of the main highlights of the programme: the major Patrona<\/em> concert<\/strong>, headlined this year by John Newman and Rudimental DJ. More information is available at this link<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The more traditional<\/strong> side of the festivities will take place on 7 and 8 September. The Basilica of Sant Miquel will host the Floral Offering<\/strong> and, the following day, the solemn Mass in honour of the Mare de D\u00e9u de la Salut (Our Lady of Health).<\/p>\n

The festivities have their origins in the parish of Sant Miquel, where devotion to Palma’s patron saint was deeply rooted for decades. After several years without being held, the celebration was revived in 2023.<\/p>\n

Since then, Palma City Council and the Federaci\u00f3 de Ve\u00efnats de Sa Ciutat de Palma (Palma Residents’ Federation) have worked to strengthen the festivities and restore their place in the city’s annual calendar.<\/p>\n
