The Festes de Sant Roc in Alaró is a traditional celebration held in honor of Saint Roch (Sant Roc), the patron saint of the town of Alaró. These festivities typically take place across the first two weeks in August and are among the most significant cultural events in the town.

The Festes de Sant Roc in Alaró are a vibrant mix of religious devotion, cultural pride, and community spirit, making them a must-see event for those interested in experiencing authentic Mallorcan traditions.

The agenda includes religious ceremonies, parades, music and dancing, and street entertainment. However, the highlight is at midnight on August 16th, when the fireworks and procession begin. If you haven't experienced a Correfoc yet, this is one you shouldn't miss—it's great fun and truly unforgettable!
