Christmas and New Year Fiestas in Formentera

The Christmas and New Year fiestas in formentera will start next Sunday with a minimarathon and will continue on Tuesday 24 at 4.30 with the celebration of the "VII Festa del Repoblament" organised by the Obra Cultural Balear de Formentera. A whole series of musical, festive and religious proposals make up the programme. The dances will animate the evening of the 24th, with a concert by Horris Kamoi, on Sunday 29 night, with country rock by Pota Lait, and New Year's Eve, with the fiesta Kumbes del Mabo, that will include country music, ska, pasodobles... in which everyone will dance. The performances will take place in a municipal tent installed in the Plaza de Sant Ferran.

Worth stressing is the traditional "tirada de galls" and the folk dance that will be held in Cala Saona on San Esteban's day as from 3 p.m. and the arrival at the port of the Savina of the Three Kings, on January 5, at noon. The three kings will want to visit the three parishes of the island and in the evening they will be given a concert by the local groups.
